Dialect and Accent

Hai Club, welcome to this post. Many people often confuse with the meaning of Accent and Dialect, the fact which people use these terms use interchangeable. But there's distinction between those terms although it's not really important for layperson unless you're a linguist. according to information from dialectblog.com :

• An accent is the way that particular person or group of people sound. It’s the way somebody pronounces words, the musicality of their speech, etc.
• A dialect describes both a person’s accent and the grammatical features of the way that person talks.

In another words, an Accents in a languange only different in the way a words pronounced, but if it is Dialects it also different in common used words for a same things, terms, etc. For example, the way of American people and British people say words differently like : bath, laugh, class, chance, ask, after, can’t, example (check here) called Accent, the different terms which american and british people used to called a same things like : Cookies (*AmE) and Biscuit (*BritE), Truck (AmE) and Lorry (BritE), Apartment (AmE) and Flat (BritE), etc are called Dialect.

*AmE : American English
*BritE : British English
