doculect

noun /ˈdɒkjʊlɛkt/

  1. The lect (language variety) of a particular document.

    This is not the whole explanation why these Mayan doculects have an exceptionally high token frequency, but it explains part of the deviation.

Where it comes from

Blend of document + -lect, coined by American linguist Jeff Good in 2006.

Adapted from the Wiktionary entry doculect (CC BY-SA 4.0).
