The correlation between linguistic variables and social parameters is the prime focus of sociolinguistics that is, the main theme of research is the variations that are found to occur in language are explained based on changes in the structure of the language and what social identity or variable is responsible or characteristic to that particular variation. This is because language is a social phenomenon and it has been acknowledged that language use reflects social structures and parameters. In this regard, sociolinguistic investigations have so far revealed numerous styles and variations that exist in various social contexts situations, environments, etc. Individuals differ from one another and this is also reflected in their language behaviour as well as use. Based on these notions, different social groups are identified based on some parameters which are termed social variables, such as those listed below: 1. Religion 2. Age 3. Sex 4. Region 5. Income 6.
