Minhast is divided into fourteen dialects, twelve of which are the historical dialects spoken in the Prefectures, and two new dialects that have arisen in modern times, a standardized "national" dialect, and an urban colloquial dialect. An additional two dialects, the Knife Speaker dialect, and the Heron Speaker dialect<sup>1</sup>, are now extinct. The Knife Speaker dialect is poorly attested. | Minhast is divided into fourteen dialects, twelve of which are the historical dialects spoken in the Prefectures, and two new dialects that have arisen in modern times, a standardized "national" dialect, and an urban colloquial dialect.
