[[Template:dialect]] - [[Template:dialectal]]
I think they both denote the exact same thing, in which case they should probably be merged into one. -- Prince Kassad 19:08, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
- They categorize identically, and seem to denote the same thing, but display differently (as dialect and dialectal, respectively), which may be useful in such constructions as {{rare|or|dialectal}} and {{jargon|or|dialect}}.—msh210℠ (talk) 19:18, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

{{regional}}categorizes in Regional English, not just Regional. Mglovesfun (talk) 18:23, 2 November 2010 (UTC)- Redirect {{temp|dialect}} and {{temp|dialects}} to {{temp|dialectal}}. When nouns are used attributively, it's very rarely in the plural, and there's no need to use the noun attributively when there's a perfectly good adjective dialectal.
