W orking Language
A lingua franca (LF) is a working language 
used by different populations to communicate 
when they do not share a common language. 
It is also called a bridge language, venicular 
language or unifying language. Generally, a 
lingua franca is a third language that is distinct 
from the native language of both parties involved
