| It differs. For in some languages, such as in Italian, dialects are complete different languages, running parallel to the country’s language.

| Doesn't it depend on whether they are derived from the standard form or not?

| to say it is different is to suggest that there is another form of standard language, standard to the group of users. to say it a deviation is to suggest that dialects are not the norms but something inferior to that which is standard. What is standard, howeve, is relative to time and place.

| 'Differ' seems less judgemental. To the dialect speaker, standard language seems strange. I'd use 'differ'.

| The standard language is itself a dialect.
