| | Ivan Illich: Vernacular Values |
| | Vernacular spreads by practical use; it is learned from people who mean what they say and who say what they mean to the person they address in the context of everyday life. | | | And this vernacular, be it the ordinary colloquial, a trade idiom, the language of prayer, the craft jargon, the language of basic accounts, the language of venery or of age (for example, baby talk) was learned on the side, as part of meaningful everyday life. | | | By speaking about vernacular language and the possibility of its recuperation, I am trying to bring into awareness and discussion the existence of a vernacular mode of being, doing, and making that in a desirable future society might again expand in all aspects of life. |

| | Nevertheless the major characteristics, standards, and ideals of the Croatian vernacular and its literature stand in sharp contrast to the Old Church Slavonic and later Church Slavonic literary tradition of the Orthodox Slavs, which was based on Byzantine linguistic and literary models. | | | Those are Christmas carols, Easter canticles, and many hymns celebrating the Virgin Mary, saints, and feasts of the church. | | | It was on the foundation of Latin-Italian culture, rather than that of the Old Church Slavonic literary tradition, that a Croatian vernacular literacy and literature emerged in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. |

| | Vernacular building is the traditional and natural way by which communities house themselves. | | | It would be unworthy of the heritage of man if care were not taken to conserve these traditional harmonies which constitute the core of man's own existence. | | | The built vernacular heritage is important; it is the fundamental expression of the culture of a community, of its relationship with its territory and, at the same time, the expression of the world's cultural diversity. |

| | Black English Vernacular (Ebonics) and Educability |
| | But teachers and administrators would do well to understand that Black English Vernacular -- both its verbal and nonverbal aspects -- is not some form of whimsical, transient, or popular slang. | | | And certainly the goal of classroom instruction is not to encourage the use of these dialects or to teach lessons in Ebonics. | | | It is therefore not surprising that different cultural groups who use different dialects of the same language may emphasize certain aspects of that language more than others -- in essence they choose those aspects that best convey their own life experiences. |

| | Vernacular is everything not designed by professional architects--in other words, most of the world's buildings....Vernacular building traditions have the attention span to incorporate generational knowledge about long-term problems such as maintaining and growing a building over time. | | | Vernacular is a term borrowed since the 1850s by architectural historians from linguists, who used it to mean the native language of a region....It means common in all three senses of the word--widespread, ordinary and beneath notice. | | | The result is rambling, but each part is well-suited to its needs, each part fits well with the others....The inhabitants are able to modify their environment because each part is built according to the familiar patterns of design, use and construction and because those patterns contain the seeds for piecemeal growth. |

| | End of Europe's Middle Ages - Literature |
| | New written forms of vernacular languages developed that were loosely based on the oral vernacular languages. | | | While some scholars regard the printing press as the single most important factor in ending the Middle Ages and bringing about the Renaissance, others are more moderate in their views, conceding only that the printing press served to accelerate changes already underway. | | | The rise of vernacular languages was also assisted by the increased nationalism that resulted from the consolidation of monarchies in the later Middle Ages. |
