Joshua Fishman (Mendele, 10/28/96) reported that the quote is indeed from
Max Weinreich and was located by Avrohom Novershtern as:

	'a shprakh iz a diyalekt mit an armey un a flot.'
		Weinreich, M. 1945. Der yivo un di problemen fun undzer
		tsayt. [YIVO and the problems of our time.] Yivo-bleter
		25.1.13.

The source for the quote "a language is a dialect with an army and navy"
is not Max Weinreich but Robert A. Hall. I'm not sure what work he said
it in, but check "Leave Your Language Alone".
