>>>>>>>>>>>David Crystal, Linguistics Professor at Bangor, said in the Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language:

Varieties of language can be distinguished not only by their vocabulary and grammar, but also by differences in phonology. Where distinctions are limited to phonology, the term accent is often used instead of dialect.

Using this definition, Professor Crystal defined only two true dialects in mainland Britain, Yorkshire Dales and Lowland Scots.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
