		The vernacular is also often contrasted with a liturgical language (in Linguistics, the relationship between these "High" and "Low" languages or varieties of a language is referred to as diglossia).
		Language can blur into vernacular architecture, where the local vernacular is sometimes reflected in the form of the styles of naive/vernacular typography and hand lettering seen on signs and shopfronts.

	ICOMOS Charter on the built vernacular heritage
		The built vernacular heritage is important; it is the fundamental expression of the culture of a community, of its relationship with its territory and, at the same time, the expression of the world's cultural diversity.
		The vernacular embraces not only the physical form and fabric of buildings, structures and spaces, but the ways in which they are used and understood, and the traditions and the intangible associations which attach to them.
		Interventions to vernacular structures should be carried out in a manner which will respect and maintain the integrity of the siting, the relationship to the physical and cultural landscape, and of one structure to another.

		Vernacular spreads by practical use; it is learned from people who mean what they say and who say what they mean to the person they address in the context of everyday life.

	Exploring Language: Vernacular English [English Online]
		Vernacular English is associated with varieties of English that are normally spoken, not written.
		Many observers are familiar with the way some children regularly use vernacular English in an adventure playground and standard English at school, already demonstrating their ability to make language choices depending on the social situation.
		Because the vernacular has not been codified as standard English has, there is no body of literature that warns of possible errors when we use the vernacular.

		The Vernacular Architecture Forum (VAF), the learned society formed expressly to advance research on the topic, was founded at GW in 1979, and the university served as the site of the organization's first annual meeting.
		Vernacular architecture, and the methodical innovations fostered through the recent study of vernacular architecture, thus form integral aspects of the format.

	The New Vernacular \| Linux Journal
		Vernacular is a term borrowed since the 1850s by architectural historians from linguists, who used it to mean the native language of a region....It means common in all three senses of the word--widespread, ordinary and beneath notice.
		In terms of architecture, vernacular buildings are seen as the opposite of whatever is academic, high style, polite.
		Vernacular is everything not designed by professional architects--in other words, most of the world's buildings....Vernacular building traditions have the attention span to incorporate generational knowledge about long-term problems such as maintaining and growing a building over time.

		In the study, vernacular creativity describes creative practices that emerge from highly particular and non-elite social contexts and communicative conventions, mediated and transformed when brought into relationship with digital distribution, consumption and network technologies.
		In settling on the term ‘vernacular creativity’, my intention is not to create neologisms, but to find a comprehensible terminology adequate to signify the conceptual territory of this study.
		The most familiar meaning of the term vernacular is that of vernacular speech, thought, or expression, usually applied to the native speech of a populace as against the official language (for example, English in the Middle Ages), but now used to distinguish everyday language from institutional of official modes of expression.

		We are all aware of the disastrous way in which the world’s plant and animal species are declining, and that by causing extinction on a massive scale we are depriving ourselves and our successors, not just of the wonders of nature, but of as yet unknown benefits to humankind.
		The vernacular architectures of the world are in a sense similar to natural species and they are just as hard pressed by crude industrialization.
		Vernacular buildings are not precisely the same as natural species, in that while a plant is lost for ever when it becomes extinct, we can (up to a point) recreate destroyed artifacts provided that they have been recorded.

		Nevertheless, the council's declaration that the Vulgate was authentic led to a misconception that all vernacular translations were to be made from the Vulgate and not from the original texts.
		This was the decision that the C.D.F. told the Congregation for Worship to have the bishops reverse.
		This is a significant development since the Rules of the Index in 1564, which left approval of vernacular translations exclusively to the local bishop or inquisitor--a position maintained by Barnabò in 1868 and Tisserant in 1942.

	THE SECULAR ASPECT OF THE CROATIAN VERNACULAR IN THE PERIOD OF LATE MEDIEVAL HUMANISM** (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The cradle of Croatian vernacular literature and culture was on the Adriatic coast where the Slavic tribes settled down next to the preserved Roman population in the seventh century, creating a Roman-Slavic symbiosis in subsequent centuries.
		This matter is of particular relevance to historians of medieval culture because the Croatian language was the first-born vernacular in the Slavic world, and among the earliest vernacular codifications in the neo-Latin community.
		Nevertheless the major characteristics, standards, and ideals of the Croatian vernacular and its literature stand in sharp contrast to the Old Church Slavonic and later Church Slavonic literary tradition of the Orthodox Slavs, which was based on Byzantine linguistic and literary models.

		The Oakland Public Unified School Board's recent attention to Ebonics, or Black English Vernacular, as one of the main causes of the scholastic shortcomings of Black youth has opened yet another controversial chapter in an ongoing national debate on the educability (that is, the ability to learn) of Black youth in America's inner cities.
		Different renditions of a parent Black English Vernacular conceivably have existed among the younger generations of Blacks residing in northern urban environments of the United States ever since large migrations of Blacks from the rural South began in the first half of the twentieth century.
		To equate this vernacular with slang, as though it were merely an unsystematic and casual form of communication, is not only scientifically inaccurate, but also psychologically denigrating to its speakers.
