Keywords:
Colloquial English, Common English, English Varieties, Standard English, non-standard English, Global Language, SlangsAbstract
English is the most successful recognized global language. However, sociolinguists have a sheer of divergent views on the complexity of the present-day world English varieties in terms of standardization. There is little explicit agreement about exactly how Standard English ought to be viewed. It is a common belief among those who work with English that it exists. However, the portrayals made of it in various linguistic works, dictionaries and grammar books show how much diversity there is in individuals' thoughts regarding Standard English. The questions of what constitute a variety of English characterized as Standard or good English is still an area of dispute among the sociolinguists.
