Citazioni 

A language may include mutually unintelligible dialects at the extremities, but between these mutually unintelligible dialects there exists a series of related dialects. Hence, we include all these dialects under one language. We do not say that the language is the common denominator of all these dialects. If so, it would be a very poor, emaciated language. On the contrary the language is the total of these related dialects.
- Nida (1951), a pag.9
