FYI: register is a problematic term from a linguistic perspective. There
are at least three senses of the term. The first as it is used here is a
social register in which language a or language b is chosen, the second is
in southEast Asian languages where word forms differ based on register -
which may also have social applications of use, and third in register tier
theory, a phonological theory of tone analysis. So in general, the word
seems to be over loaded, and should IMO be avoided.
