Mesolect

A mesolect is a middle-level dialect within a language that exists between the formal, standardized version (acrolect) and the more informal or colloquial dialects (lects) or creoles. It reflects a flexible form of speech used in everyday conversations, often incorporating elements from both the standard language and local or informal varieties. Mesolects are typically more comprehensible and socially acceptable than colloquial forms but less formal than the official standard, serving as a useful means of communication that balances clarity and relatability within a community.
