Incorrect. No dialect "deviates" from a "standard" form of that language. Everyone speaks a dialect. The privilege given to any particular dialect has nothing to do with the form of the dialect itself and everything to do with the sociopolitical history of its speakers. None of that is relevant to speaking comprehensibly in an international environment. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco

Linguists disagree a lot amongst themselves: Early 20th century there was Fowler and his followers -- unabashedly laying down the law on what is right and not. Then there were his opponents (French school I think, not sure what they were called -- poststructuralists maybe??) who said language was defined by usage and not the other way. Until someone (Fowlerite?) pointed out that those anti-Fowlerites seemingly objectively described all the dialects but they themselves stuck to pristine Queen's English. So like in society, all dialects are equal and some are more equal!

Henry Fowler? To my knowledge, he was a dictionary-maker, not a linguist. To be fair, back then, the field of linguistics was not terribly well established, so he might have qualified for the title at the time. However, linguistics has learned a lot and moved on since then. You would be seriously hard-pressed to find a prescriptivist linguist these days. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
