Single Word Describing The Concept Of Language Barrier As Applied To Language In A Non-traditional sense
A single word carrying the connotation or literal meaning of either, "real language" or "official language" that is roughly antonymous with the word vernacular.
To provide more context: I am seeking to use this word to describe a "real language" in the same way that English or Danish is a "real language".
The purpose being to describe a language barrier in a nontraditional sense. For example, if we take the concept of a language barrier and apply it to programming languages or any other domain specific language that already has an established vernacular or jargon associated with it. Such that an outsider to that particular domain could feel as though there is something of a language barrier between themselves and a member of that specific domain.
The end goal is that we can make make the assertion that language barriers don't necessarily apply only to languages as we define them in the form of English or Danish but also to a vernacular or jargon used within a specific domain.

To me at least, "real language" is already synonymous with "vernacular", meaning the real, actual language that people speak; as opposed to the "official language" which is mandated but hardly anyone actually uses.

Some Indo-European English speakers would say that you mean "Well Proper English" Academics say the correct term for a select few is "Received Pronunciation" (RP) "An accent of Standard English in the United Kingdom and is defined in the Concise Oxford English Dictionary as "the standard accent of English as spoken in the south of England", although it can be heard from native speakers throughout the world and beyond.
Standard English in Shakespeare's day looks and sounds foreign to us now, and in a century from now our conversation may appear to be in the vernacular, but who knows?
English moves on, an'on.
The Moving Finger taps; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
