Although highly recommendable, they are not compulsory, as they concern subsidiary aspects of UNL. In any case, they must be followed by those interested in using [[Tools|UNDLF tools]].

== Natural language ==
In the UNLarium framework, register may assume the following values:

{{#tree:id=nl_REG|openlevels=0|root=Register (REG)|
*archaism (ARC): no longer current
*colloquialism (CLQ): not used in formal speech
*dialect (DIA): regional speech pattern
*jargon (JGN): technical vocabulary of a particular profession
*literary (LIT): used only in literature
*pejorative (PEJ): having an unpleasant or disparaging connotation, but which are not taboo
*slang (SLG): used by a specific social group
*taboo (TAB): offensive
}}

=== Examples ===
*thou (you) = archaism (ARC)
*wanna (want to) = colloquialism (CLQ)

*nitwit (stupid person) = pejorative (PEJ)
*waken (awake) = literary (LIT)
*ajax (exceptionally attractive girl) = slang (SLG)
