what is informal language

Informal language refers to the use of casual, relaxed, and colloquial expressions, words, and phrases in communication. It is commonly used in everyday conversations, informal writing (such as text messages or emails among friends), and informal social settings. Informal language often deviates from strict grammatical rules and may include slang, contractions, abbreviations, and personal pronouns. It is less formal and less structured compared to formal language used in professional or academic contexts.
