Verbatim - In the exact same words
vernacular- local everyday language
Literary- language used in literature
literal - exactly in the words used. (not metaphorically, symbolically)
household - I am not sure what you mean in this context. Household is the people who live together in one family. Maybe you mean the language or slang used by one specific family.

verbatim = word for word/detailed eg This is taken verbatim from her notes.
ehh you meant vernacular? vernacular = native dialect/ everyday language
literacy = ability to read and write
literal = based on the strict meaning of the word. hmm like not based on puns for instance?
household= people living in the same dwelling. if you say something like household name, it means that the person is so famous that his/her name is known by everyone.

'Household language' is a term used for the language which is spoken in someone's home. It's professional jargon, used mainly in educational contexts. In multilingual societies, a child's 'household language' may well be different from the language of the country and the language used at school.
