Good point - however both tacit and explicit follow certain rules of
the language-
I would put this in terms of a sermon , rather than a dialect-
where the preacher deals directly to the point vs one who takes a
detailed (often circuitive) route to get to the point. Same language-
but one approach goes step by step (often repeatedly) while the other
goes more directly.
Put it this way
MAd (Michigan Algerithmic Decoder- the first language I learned),
Fortran (originally a weak version of MAD) , Basic, Turbo Basic (Basic
with muscle ) are dialects of a language. Pascal, C C++ etc are
dialects of a different language. APl, J and related "languages" are
also dialects of some common language .
These languages, in part, borrow from each other (and dialect borrow-
i.e Fortran borrowed from MAD but left Alfred E. Neuman out of error
messages starting with "this is mad"
Whatever, too long a day, and too much wine "in Vino excreta taurus"

Well, tacit and explicit could be thought of as dialects, couldn't they?

At least J doesn't have dialects.
