variety of a language distinguished by pronunciation, grammar, or vocabulary,
especially a variety of speech differing from the standard literary language or

recently settled by English speakers (eg., North Americans/New York).

Refered to aspects such as: education, socioeconomic group and ethnic
group.
↘ It focuses more on educated and uneducated speech used by the
