Language is either written or spoken, but a tongue is conceived of mostly as a something to be spoken; and speech is, in the strict sense, that only which is spoken or uttered. Speech is an abstract term, implying either the power of uttering articulate sounds, or the words themselves which are spoken, or the particular mode of expre ing one's self. The idiom is the peculiar construction and turn of a language. The dialect is that which is engrafted on a language by the inhabitants of particular parts of a country.
