A language is a dialect with an army and navy
"A language is a dialect with an army and navy" is one of the most frequently used aphorisms in the discussion of the distinction between dialect and language. This is commonly attributed to one of the leading figures in modern Yiddish linguistics, Max Weinreich, and the aphorism therefore often appears in Yiddish as, a shprakh iz a dialekt mit an armey un flot ( ×´×Ö· שפּר×ַך ××™×– ×Ö· די×Ö·×ś×˘×§× ×ž×™× ×ַן ×ַרמיי ×ון פֿל×Ö¸××´ ).
