Popis:	Most of the geographical dialect studies in Malaysia use a traditional, manually drawn map in determining dialect boundaries or isoglosses. This impression-based drawing method is scientifically not appropriate because the isoglosses produced are unclear and ambiguous. Using current modern technology with an interdisciplinary approach such as geo-linguistics has led to a breakthrough as a remedy for this problem. A Geographical Information System (GIS) is more reliable in constructing an accurate line of isogloss for lexical variations and spatial distribution. Thus this paper aims to provide a better map presentation of lexical and phonology dialect variations found in North Perak, Malaysia. The data analysed are ‘mereka ’ (they) and ‘ular’ (snake) respectively.
