Dialects, stylized as Di•a•lects and alternatively known as Di•a•lects, Music for solo synthesizers and voices, is the fourth studio album by Joe Zawinul which was released in 1986. It was created by Zawinul alone with his programmed synths and rhythm machines, using vocoders on his own vox and importing Bobby McFerrin's improvised onomatopoeics and a vocal trio singing in a Zawinul-created language on other tracks."
