1. a dialect (a form of a language peculiar to a region) (esp. Greek)
   • c. 69 CE – 122 CE, Suetonius, Vita Divi Tiberii 56:

     Nihilo lenior in convictores Graeculos, quibus vel maxime adquiescebat, Xenonem quendam exquisitius sermocinantem cum interrogasset, quaenam illa tam molesta dialectos esset, et ille respondisset Doridem, relegavit Cinariam, existimans exprobratum sibi veterem secessum, quod Dorice Rhodii loquantur.

     He was not a whit milder towards his Greek companions, in whose society he took special pleasure. When one Xeno was holding forth in somewhat far-fetched phrases, he asked him what dialect that was which was so affected, and on Xeno's replying that it was Doric, he banished him to Cinaria, believing that he was being taunted with his old-time exile, inasmuch as the Rhodians spoke Doric.

使用する際の注意点

• Nouns of feminine gender are relatively rare in this declension; dialectos inherits its feminine gender from the Ancient Greek word διάλεκτος.
