Dialect.
Strictly speaking the term dialect refers to a geographical variant of a language. However, it is used loosely, not only by non-linguists, to talk about any variety of language. For sociolinguistic purposes one must distinguish various sub-types of dialect.
The term dialect is used to denote a geographically distinct variety of a language. There is no reference to the social dimension of language here.
