A variety of terms distinguish the kinds of languages and vocabularies that exist outside the mainstream of standard, formal language.
Here are some words and phrases that denote specific ideas of language usage:
Argot:-
An argot is a language primarily developed to disguise conversation, originally because of a criminal enterprise, though the term is also used loosely to refer to informal jargon.
Cant:-
Cant is somewhat synonymous with argot and jargon and refers to the vocabulary of an in-group that uses it to deceive or exclude nonusers.
Colloquial Language:-
Anything not employed in formal writing or conversation, including terms that might fall under one or more of most of the other categories in this list, is a colloquialism. Colloquial and colloquialism may be perceived to be pejorative terms, but they merely refer to informal terminology.
Creole:-
A creole is a more sophisticated development of a pidgin, derived from two or more parent languages and used by people all ages as a native language.
Dialect:-
A dialect is a way of speaking based on geographical or social factors.
