Using slang, dropping the "g" from verbs, tryin instead of trying, using "ain't" instead of isn't, gonna instead of going to, are a few examples.

I think u mean informal language.

OK, informal language is the language or the style that most people use in casual conversations. You use informal language with someone that you already know or you have a personal or intimate relationship with him/her.

Informal language is characterised by a simpler grammatical structure (i.e. loosely-connected sentences and phrases), personal evaluation, and a colloquial or slang vocabulary.

informal language is way different than formal language. Business people always use formal language.

Example of informal language is:

This guy, Hewson, right, he says that people that speak English, like native speakers, don’t think about when to use words like ‘the’, they just do it.

Example of formal language is:

Hewson (1972, p. 132) has called the English article system a ‘psychomechanism’, through which native speakers use articles correctly but unconsciously.

Can you see the difference between the above two text. And I hope that this information will give some idea of what is informal language.

Informal English is the English in which you speak. notice how whenever you talk you tend to not say out an entire word. It's kinda like the way I'm typing this sentence, or it's like saying my bff Jill. Informal English is English used in normal conversation.

One would never partake in the usage of formal English in modern times unless one was invited to Buckingham Palace for tea with the queen.
but you'd use informal English nowadays if youve been asked to the Palace for a cuppa with the Queen!

I am an ESL teacher and here is the example I give to my students to illustrate informal English.

President Bush walks into the room and you address him by saying something like, "I am honored to meet you, Mister President."

The would be formal English.

Informal English is THIS example: President Bush walks into the room and you address him by saying something like, "Yo, dude, wassup?"

See the difference?
