As a consequence it is possible that a dialect speaker will reject books,
dictionaries etc. which are not written in his norm. A multidialectal dictionary
as a compromise would probably only result in confusing the reader.
If, however, one dialect is chosen as the norm this may lead to the speakers
of the other dialects considering their dialect incorrect and inferior which, in
the case of a declining language, might make them refuse to speak it and
revert to the dominant language.
