World Englishes

World Englishes refer to the diverse forms and varieties of the English language spoken around the world. As English has spread to different countries, it has adapted to local cultures, accents, and vocabulary, creating unique versions such as Indian English, Nigerian English, or Singapore English. These variations reflect how English interacts with local languages and customs, emphasizing that English is not a single, uniform language but a global family of different, regionally influenced dialects. Recognizing world Englishes highlights the richness of English’s global diversity and celebrates linguistic variety and cultural identity.
