The length of the chapter on the dialect classification of individual languages is likely to vary and depend on the size of the language area, its dialect diversity, and the history of dialect classification. Even the length of the chapter depends on each language, we suggest to write a chapter between 20-25 pages (take Times New Roman 12 as reference).
