colloquial language
'Umgangssprache' and 'Fachsprache' differ mainly in the group of people they are intended for. 'Umgangssprache' is the casual language of everyday life and is understood by many people. 'Fachsprache' is used in a particular profession, subject area, or scientific field. It is more precise, but often contains specialized words. They can be confused because both can occur in conversation. But when specific terms from medicine, technology, or law are important, 'Fachsprache' fits better.
