hello,
Let me give you definitions of these three kinds of language one by one.
Dialect is a language which is mainly spoken in burg or countryside or even still kept by traditional families in some towns and regions. Generally, this language couldn’t be written and hasn’t often precise grammar rules. It is a way of talking inherited from father to son and transmitted between generations. That’s way people wouldn’t break the habit of speaking it and would rather keep on perpetuating this value given from their ancestors by proudly speaking dialect inside their family.
National language is as it’s rightly written nation’s language. Some countries may have got many nations’ languages. For example, Switzerland has French, German and Italian languages; Belgium has two ~~ones~~, French language which is spoken in south and Flemish language in north. These languages are recognised as national ones to be practised at school, at work places, in trade relations and in all daily professional activities. So each language has its own grammar and literature which is incessantly developed over time.
Official language is like national one but more important in the country. It’s the citizenry’s language allowed to be spoken in higher official institutions like parliament, or senate and presidency house. According to its national representation, country’s rules are mainly written and set in official language.
Hope that helps.
See you,

Hi, about language , it's important as we have to use it every day for communicating with people especially is the national one , but for the dialect we can sometimes find it hard to understand as it's only spoken by a part of people, otherwise official one too ,so however we should try to learn what we can and what we need ,right !
