In local speech, face English court (7)
I believe the answer is:
dialect
'in local speech' is the definition.
(language of a particular region)
'face english court' is the wordplay.
'face' becomes 'dial' (face of a clock).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'court' becomes 'ct' (abbreviation used in road names).
'dial'+'e'+'ct'='DIALECT'
(Other definitions for dialect that I've seen before include "Local lingo" , "Local form of language" , "Local language version" , "talk from the regions" , "type of language" .)
