(Term)	(Definition)
Language	A language is a method of human communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured and conventional way.
Dialects	In terms of its dictionary definition, a dialect is ‘a particular form of a language which is peculiar to a specific region or social group.’ This implies that we can view a language in the role of parent, with a range of dialects stemming from it.
Vernacular	The word vernacular originates from the Latin word, vernāculus, meaning native or indigenous. Ideally, vernacular is the way ordinary people talk with each other in non-formal settings like at home. A vernacular language (non-standard dialect) is a native dialect or form of speech of specific people or a specific region. These languages are also known as ethnic languages, and they are more spoken than formally written and are endemic in specific societies.
Lingua Franca	A lingua franca (vehicular languages) is a language used when people speaking different vernacular dialects want to communicate with each other. This language is also known as a bridge language, ‘language of the Franks,’ common language or a trade language because it provides a way for different ethnicities to communicate. Vernacular language usually represents a community’s native language while a lingua franca often has a widespread use, beyond borders of the original community.
