Parlance
<par-lants>
talk; speech; lingo;
a way of speaking among people with the same interests.
The kids spoke in a parlance foreign to their parents.
Memory trick:
parlance reminds of freelance
a language understood only by freelancers
At work:
The computer programmers talked in a parlance we did not understand.
