To clarify the difference with some examples: In Castile, the letters "z" and "s" are pronounced differently. In Andaluz and most or all of Hispanic America, they are pronounced the same. This is an accent difference; it affects all words with "z", "ce", or "ci" in them. (Use of "vosotros"/"vos"/"ustedes" and words used in one place but not others are dialect differences.) In American English and in British English, the phoneme /u/ is distinguished from the diphthong /au/. In both dialects, "rout" and "router" (woodworking tool) are pronounced with /au/. In America, "route" and "router" (networking tool) are pronounced with /au/, whereas they are pronounced with /u/ in England (from what I know; I've never been there). This is a phonologically different pronunciation of a same word, thus a dialect difference. I, though American, follow the British pronunciation of this word, being a son of a French immigrant; this is an idiolect difference.
