👉 A subdialect is a dialect or regional variation of a language, which is not as closely related to the dominant or standard dialect. It usually has its own distinct vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, but may share some features with other dialects in the same speech community. For example, in British English, there are many different forms for "are" (like "are you", "are it", etc.), and these variations can be considered subdialects of the standard British English.
