    I guess FPC has sort of grown it's own deviation from the other dialects too hasn't it? With the addition of Generics and 64-bit compilation it seems that FPC had to make it's own branch.

    Yep, every new language feature you pioneer, you have to "invent" an aspect of a dialect, usually rather than inventing out of the blue, you look at what other languages have done, but that stills leaves quite a variety of ways to express something.

    FPC also combines Delphi style and Mac style in the same compiler - plus the Objective Pascal extensions.

    Well yes FPC does do that, but that's just implementation, not dialect.
