Definition
Relating to or characteristic of speech or dialogue that addresses another person directly, or pertaining to a conversational style.
Etymology
From Latin 'alloqui' (to address or speak to) + '-ial' (relating to). Derived from 'ad-' (to) + 'loqui' (to speak), rooted in the concept of direct address.
Kelly Says
The word 'alloquial' is rare because English speakers invented 'colloquial' instead, but 'alloquial' preserves the original Latin sense of actually talking *to* someone specific—the 'allo-' reminds us it's about addressing *other* people.
