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.
[citation needed] The term has been used to describe newly formed political proverbs in Nigeria.
