Home›Hinduism›Liturgical Language›Vernacular LanguageLanguageVernacular LanguageSacred & Content LanguagesScriptural and Theological TraditionVerifiedIn this atlas the vernacular is the ordinary spoken language of a worshipping community, as opposed to a fixed sacred or classical language kept for scripture and liturgy. The term denotes the ordinary, informal, spoken form of a language or dialect, often perceived as having lower social status than the more codified, institutionally promoted and literary standard, although every nonstandard variety is a full language with its own consistent grammar, sound system and vocabulary. Records that say a tradition worships or teaches in the vernacular, without naming one specific language, are grouped under this entry, because the actual language differs from place to place and cannot be reduced to a single named language entity.Vernacular LanguageConnectionsSourcesTake a Related QuizComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)Vernacular LanguageFilter Results7 entriesPolityAllCentralised Corporate Polity (1)Decentralised Polity (2)Guru Lineage Polity (5)Matha Lineage Polity (2)Originated InAllBengal (1)Gujarat (1)India (2)Karnataka (1)New York (1)Origin EraAll800 BCE (1)200 BCE (1)1000 (1)1100 (1)1486 (1)1907 (1)1965 (1)Parent DenominationAllGaudiya Vaishnavism (1)Shaivism (1)Parent ReligionAllHinduism (6)Founded ByAllBasava (1)Shastriji Maharaj (1)Practice StatusAllIn active religious use (1)Living tradition, practised today (6)Sexuality PositionAllSame-sex orientation or practice is held to bar full membership or participation (1)Ordination PracticeAllAuthority conferred by initiation rather than by ordination (2)Office passes by descent (4)Open to women and men (1)Ordination is into a monastic order, not to a congregation (1)Restricted to men (3)Varies between provinces or member bodies (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 7BAPS Swaminarayan SansthaVernacular LanguageGaudiya VaishnavismVernacular LanguageISKCON (Hare Krishna)Vernacular LanguageLingayatismVernacular LanguageShaivismVernacular LanguageSri VaishnavismVernacular LanguageVaishnavismVernacular LanguageConnectionsLiturgical Language OfChurch of Ireland, Denominations Well-attested Church of Satan, Denominations Well-attested Church of Scotland, Denominations Well-attested Church of Sweden, Denominations Well-attested Church of the Nazarene, Denominations Well-attested Churches of Christ, Denominations Well-attested Claretians, Religious Orders Well-attested Cluniac Order, Religious Orders Well-attested Community of Christ, Denominations Well-attested Community of Saint Martin, Religious Orders Well-attested Community of St. John, Religious Orders Well-attested Companions of the Cross, Religious Orders Well-attested Company of Mary, Religious Orders Well-attested Conception of Our Lady, Religious Orders Well-attested Congregation of Christian Brothers, Religious Orders Well-attested Congregation of Christian Retreat, Religious Orders Well-attested Congregation of Holy Cross, Religious Orders Well-attested Congregation of Notre Dame, Religious Orders Well-attested Congregation of the Holy Spirit, Religious Orders Well-attested Congregation of the Mission, Religious Orders Well-attested Congregationalists, Denominations Well-attested Conservative Judaism, Denominations Well-attested Dianic Wicca, Denominations Well-attested Discalced Carmelites, Religious Orders Well-attested Disciples of Christ, Denominations Well-attested Divine Science, Denominations Well-attested Dutch Reformed Church, Denominations Well-attested Dvaita Vedanta, Schools of Theology Well-attested Eastern Orthodoxy, Denominations Well-attested Eclectic Solitary Wicca, Denominations Well-attested Ecumenical Movement, Religious Movements Well-attested Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Denominations Well-attested Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland, Denominations Well-attested Evangelicalism, Denominations Well-attested Feri Tradition, Denominations Well-attested Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, Denominations Well-attested Folk Shinto, Denominations Well-attested Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, Religious Orders Well-attested Free Methodist Church, Denominations Well-attested Fundamentalist Movement, Religious Movements Well-attested Galibi Order, Religious Orders Well-attested Gardnerian Wicca, Denominations Well-attested Gaudiya Vaishnavism, Denominations Well-attested Global Methodist Church, Denominations Well-attested Grace Communion International, Denominations Well-attested Hillsong Church, Denominations Well-attested Historically Black Protestant Tradition, Denominations Well-attested Holiness Movement, Religious Movements Well-attested Humanistic Judaism, Denominations Well-attested Iglesia ni Cristo, Denominations Well-attested Showing 51 to 100 of 206 in Liturgical Language Of, page 2 of 5.← Previous12345Next →SourcesVernacular (Wikipedia)Wikimedia FoundationVernacular, lead paragraphQuote, Vernacular, lead paragraphVernacular is the ordinary, informal, spoken form of a language or dialect.View the SourceTake a Related QuizLanguages: BeginnerCovers this kind of entry.Comments (0)No comments yet.
