Dialect, subtitled "A Game About Language And How It Dies", is a tabletop role-playing game that uses cards and collaborative storytelling to create a new jargon or pseudolanguage that develops, evolves and eventually dies. It was created by linguists Hakan Seyalioglu and Kathryn Hymes, and published by indie role-playing game publisher Thorny Games in 2016.
