Abstract
We show that the common approach to use of Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) to filter the information contained in a complex system of English dialects similarity is not robust. Later on we propose a robust filter based on the forest of all possible MSTs. To illustrate the advantages of this filter, Morgan’s data on English dialects similarity is analyzed and promising results are reported.
