a series of similar items in which each is almost the same as the ones next to it but the last is very different from the first （相鄰兩者相似但起首與末尾截然不同的）連續體 It is impossible to say at what point along the continuum a dialect becomes a separate language. 要說出同一語言的方言差異到什麽程度才成爲另一種語言是不可能的。
Word Originmid 17th cent.: from Latin, neuter of continuus ‘uninterrupted’, from continere ‘hang together’ (from con- ‘together with’ + tenere ‘hold’).
