Vernacular Culture

Vernacular culture refers to the everyday practices, beliefs, and traditions of a specific community, often expressed through language, art, customs, and social behaviors. It encompasses local dialects, folk art, culinary traditions, and shared rituals that reflect the identity and values of the people. Unlike formal culture, which may be influenced by broader societal or global trends, vernacular culture is rooted in local experiences and history, contributing to a community's sense of belonging and continuity. It plays a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage and fostering connections among individuals within that community.
