vernacular [və'nækjulə] n
lit. From the Latin vernaculus, meaning 'native, indigenous', vernacular refers to the common or everyday language of a geographic area. It can also be described as the native language of the common people in a region or country, rather than an esteemed dead language eg. Latin, which is preserved artificially in schools or through literary texts.
