However, the notion of the standard dialect does not have a linguistic basic, and it is in many ways an ideazation. In fact, there is no dialect that is better, more systematic, or more logical than other dialects, all language varieties are equally effective as a means of communication. What makes one variety become the standard dialect of a speech community is the prestige of the speakers who use it. That is, socially speaking, the standard dialect is the dialect of speakers with prestige, and in most cases, these refer to the upper socioeconomic classes who have access to power, wealth, and education. When speakers gain prestige in the society, their way of speaking usually gain social favor as well. Therefore, it is the prestige affiliated with the speakers, rather than the linguistic characteristics of a dialect itself, which causes that particular dialect to be the standard variety of the speech community.
