May 31, 2020 at 15:31 comment added jsw29 The phrases such as unofficial language and non-official language can serve the OP's purpose only if the context makes it clear that they refer to a language that is not official but still widely used in a particular country. A typical sentence in which they will be understood in the way that is intended here is something like 'X is the unofficial language of Y': note that 'of Y' is needed to convey the idea that the language has some special connection with Y. Apart from such a context, an unofficial language is any language that is not official.
