Never in dialect (4)
I believe the answer is:
nary
This clue could be a double definition.
'never' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'dialect' is the second definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nary that I've seen before include "Never (a)" , "Not in America" , "Not spoken over there" .)
