‘English is now the dominant or official language in over 60 countries and is represented in every continent’ (Crystal, 1997:106). From this fact, it can be easily understood that the English language is a significant means of communication for millions of people around the world.
That is, English is an international language, spoken habitually in many countries both as a native and as a second or foreign language, for example, the United States, the British Isles, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and many territories under the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
So, people usually say “We speak ‘English’”, but this cannot be said so sweepingly. ‘English’ as a Lingua Franca does not only mean a language which British People have used. At present, there are a variety of Englishes millions of people worldwide use.
