Asil, спасибо за инфу, попробую через Wiki. Мне для курсовой надо. Хочу взять самые известные варианты. Кое-какой материал уже есть, но хотелось бы ещё. Планирую рассмотреть перечисленные выше темы.
Have a look here for further references on native and non-native varieties of English.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrolect Basically, all Englishes can be grouped into native and non-native varieties. Native varieties can be found in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
Then come non-native varieties and we can also see two very distinctive groups here. The fist one is made up of countries where English is officially recognised as the language of communication. These are former British colonies in Asia and Africa. English is the first language there but... We are talking about India (mostly Northern parts), Singapore, Malasia, etc. They have their own variety of English and sometimes not even aware that this in not the so called 'standard' English they are using. See Singlish and Hinglish
Let me know if I can be of any help, especially with Australian and New Zealand English and Asian Englishes.
The second group represents the countries where English is aquired as an EFL (like Russia, for example). For more reference and examples, see Chinglish or Konglish (Korean English)
Oh yes, just one more thing. While the USA and Australia (Don't know about NZ in this respect) are English-speaking countries, English is not given a special legal status in their constitutions. :shock:
