Colloquial Language - Commonly known as colloquialism it means an informal language from a particular place or country. It is mostly used verbally. 


Is slang and colloquial language the same? Although it is both spoken forms of language and is informal, slang is more casual than colloquial language. Slang is most commonly used by a community/group of people while colloquial language is used almost everyday by speech.


Some examples: 

  1. America - Jacked (stolen)

  2. New Zealand - Cuz (short for cousin can be used to call your bros) 

  3. Australia - Avo (Avocado) 

  4. Uk - Wazzock (An Idiot)

  5. Philippines - Charot (Just kidding)
