Chronolect
In linguistics, a chronolect or temporal dialect is a specific speech variety whose characteristics are in particular determined by time-related factors. As such, it can be contrasted with a sociolect, an ethnolect or a geolect.[1] In historical linguistics, a chronolect is set more or less equal to a specific language stage.[2] Many chronolects are extinct or endangered.[citation needed]
The term has been used to describe newly formed political proverbs in Nigeria.[3]
