article

This article addresses vernacular language; see also vernacular architecture.

Vernacular refers to the native language of a country or locality. In general linguistics, it is used to describe local languages as opposed to linguae francae, official standards or global languages. It is sometimes applied to nonstandard dialects of a global language.

In previous centuries scholarly work in Western Europe was typically written in Latin, so the works written in a native language (such as Italian or German) were said to be in the vernacular.

The words "patrol guard" are more appropriate than the words "roving guard", because "roving" in the Tagalog vernacular means "LAKWATSA".
