Sociolinguistic emerges as a functional approach for having the connection with the realm of language use and the speech community. Casual language is greatly popular among the society to be a colloquial language. Its existence refers to the nonstandard words and tends to be dynamic because of the linguistic modification. The aim of the study is to describe the form of casual language variety of words in the interview of Sea Today News in order to give a brief narration about the types of casual language variety through its classifications as a lingua franca that tends to create a good relationship among the language users. The data were taken from Sea Today News YouTube channel which is an English-language news channel. One of the sharing sessions in SEA Talks entitled “Interview with Fredi Lugina: New Cat Clothes for Eid” was chosen as the object of this study because the phenomenon of the use of casual language variation is detected in the dialogues between the reporter and the guest star. Moreover, the participants are Indonesian so that it is easier to naturally observe the way they practice and shape their language. The source of data of this study is in the form of document, namely the transcription of the interview.

Besides, a loyalty is also found as in the improvisation due to the effect of local language.
