Vernacular
Called vernacular local language commonly spoken in a community. This term is often contrasted with the term lingua franca , liturgical or lingua franca.
For example, when the liturgy Catholic was in Latin , it was the same in the world: Latin served as a liturgical language of instruction. At the same time, the teaching of religion was being done in local language, vernacular.
We also find this distinction in the economic and trade today, where English is a lingua franca to face the multitude of languages.
The word " vernacular "comes from the Latin Vernaculum which meant everything was prepared (including slaves), high-woven, cultivated, made at home, as opposed to what is procured by the exchange. His sense approaching that of the words "indigenous" or "indigenous".
