The ship's manifest log, that had been filled out back at the port of embarkation, contained the immigrant's name and his/her answers to twenty-nine questions. This document was used by the legal inspectors at Ellis Island to cross-examine the immigrant during the legal (or primary) inspection.
A dialect is distinguished by its vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation (phonology, including prosody). Where a distinction can be made only in terms of pronunciation (including prosody, or just prosody itself), the term accent may be preferred over dialect.he term is applied most often to regional speech patterns, but a dialect may also be defined by other factors, such as social class.
A dialect is a variation in the language itself and not only in the pronunciation. Dialect is a type of language that is derived from a primary language. For example, Sanskrit being a primary language, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati are all considered as dialects of that particular language.
