The World Englishes movement

The World Englishes movement recognizes that English has evolved differently in various regions worldwide, leading to diverse local versions known as "World Englishes." Instead of viewing only native or standard British/American English as correct, this movement values all legitimate forms used globally, valuing linguistic diversity. It emphasizes understanding and respecting these regional variations, acknowledging that English adapts to different cultures and contexts. This approach promotes inclusivity, encouraging speakers to use their own authentic English while maintaining clear communication, and supports the idea that no single version holds monopoly over the language’s correctness.
