non-standard speech
Non-standard speech refers to any language patterns, accents, dialects, or styles of speaking that deviate from the conventionally accepted or "standard" forms of a specific language. This might include regional dialects, sociolects (speech patterns defined by social groups), pidgins, creoles, or slang, among others. These are not necessarily incorrect or inferior, but may not be recognized or understood in every context. Non-standard speech can often indicate a speaker's regional origin, cultural background, or social identity.
