Local dialect (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

vernacular

(Other definitions for vernacular that I've seen before include "Characteristic language" , "Local-style" , "Everyday language" , "Native language" , "Native tongue - dialect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, the Family Time, the New York Times, The Times, the L.A. Times Daily, the Wall Street Journal, The Sunday Times, the King Feature Syndicate and the USA Today.
