Crossword Genius

The very same change in dialect (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

identical

'the very same' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'change in dialect' is the wordplay.
'change' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'dialect'='indialect'
'indialect' is an anagram of 'IDENTICAL'.

(Other definitions for identical that I've seen before include "Impossible to tell apart" , "Matching" , "lacking distinction" , "as B and B" , "Equal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
