Early Modern English was characterised by the <a href="/wiki/Great_Vowel_Shift" title="Great Vowel Shift">Great Vowel Shift</a> (1350–1700), inflectional simplification, and linguistic standardisation. The Great Vowel Shift affected the stressed long vowels of Middle English.

The use of progressive forms in -ing, appears to be spreading to new constructions, and forms such as had been being built are becoming more common. Regularisation of irregular forms also slowly continues (e.g. dreamed instead of dreamt), and analytical alternatives to inflectional forms are becoming more common (e.g. more polite instead of politer).

It has also become by far the most important language of international communication when people who share no native language meet anywhere in the world. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Three_circles_of_English-speaking_countries">Three circles of English-speaking countries</h3></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:English_as_main_language_in_London_2021.svg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/13/English_as_main_language_in_London_2021.svg/220px-English_as_main_language_in_London_2021.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="177" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="411"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 177px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/13/English_as_main_language_in_London_2021.svg/220px-English_as_main_language_in_London_2021.svg.png" data-width="220" data-height="177" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/13/English_as_main_language_in_London_2021.svg/330px-English_as_main_language_in_London_2021.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/13/English_as_main_language_in_London_2021.svg/440px-English_as_main_language_in_London_2021.svg.png 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>Percentage of <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a> residents for whom English was their primary language as of 2021</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Kachru%27s_three_circles_of_English.svg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img alt="Braj Kachru's Three Circles of English" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/Kachru%27s_three_circles_of_English.svg/220px-Kachru%27s_three_circles_of_English.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="220" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="512"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 220px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/Kachru%27s_three_circles_of_English.svg/220px-Kachru%27s_three_circles_of_English.svg.png" data-alt="Braj Kachru's Three Circles of English" data-width="220" data-height="220" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/Kachru%27s_three_circles_of_English.svg/330px-Kachru%27s_three_circles_of_English.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a8/Kachru%27s_three_circles_of_English.svg/440px-Kachru%27s_three_circles_of_English.svg.png 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Braj_Kachru" title="Braj Kachru">Braj Kachru</a>'s Three Circles of English</figcaption></figure> The Indian linguist <a href="/wiki/Braj_Kachru" title="Braj Kachru">Braj Kachru</a> distinguished countries where English is spoken with a <a href="/wiki/Three_Circles_of_English" class="mw-redirect" title="Three Circles of English">three circles model</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESvartvikLeech20062-72">[72]</a> In his model, <ul><li>the "inner circle" countries have large communities of native speakers of English,</li> <li>"outer circle" countries have small communities of native speakers of English but widespread use of English as a second language in education or broadcasting or for local official purposes, and</li> <li>"expanding circle" countries are countries where many people learn English as a foreign language.</li></ul> Kachru based his model on the history of how English spread in different countries, how users acquire English, and the range of uses English has in each country.

Syllable onset and coda (start and end) are optional. A syllable can start with up to three consonant sounds, as in sprint /sprɪnt/, and end with up to five, as in (for some dialects) angsts /aŋksts/. This gives an English syllable the following structure, (CCC)V(CCCCC), where C represents a consonant and V a vowel; the word strengths /strɛŋkθs/ is thus close to the most complex syllable possible in English. The consonants that may appear together in onsets or codas are restricted, as is the order in which they may appear. Onsets can only have four types of consonant clusters: a stop and approximant, as in play; a voiceless fricative and approximant, as in fly or sly; s and a voiceless stop, as in stay; and s, a voiceless stop, and an approximant, as in string.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrintonBrinton201060-170">[170]</a> Clusters of nasal and stop are only allowed in codas. Clusters of obstruents always agree in voicing, and clusters of sibilants and of plosives with the same point of articulation are prohibited.

Varieties of English vary the most in pronunciation of vowels. The best-known national varieties used as standards for education in non-English-speaking countries are British (BrE) and American (AmE). Countries such as <a href="/wiki/Canadian_English" title="Canadian English">Canada</a>, <a href="/wiki/Australian_English" title="Australian English">Australia</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hiberno-English" title="Hiberno-English">Ireland</a>, <a href="/wiki/New_Zealand_English" title="New Zealand English">New Zealand</a> and <a href="/wiki/South_African_English" title="South African English">South Africa</a> have their own standard varieties which are less often used as standards for education internationally.

Historically the -s possessive has been used for animate nouns, whereas the of possessive has been reserved for inanimate nouns.

They can also include modifiers such as adjectives (e.g. red, tall, all) and specifiers such as determiners (e.g. the, that). But they can also tie together several nouns into a single long NP, using conjunctions such as and, or prepositions such as with, e.g. the tall man with the long red trousers and his skinny wife with the spectacles (this NP uses conjunctions, prepositions, specifiers, and modifiers). Regardless of length, an NP functions as a syntactic unit.<a href="#cite_note-EGT-188">[188]</a> For example, the possessive enclitic can, in cases which do not lead to ambiguity, follow the entire noun phrase, as in The President of India's wife, where the enclitic follows India and not President.

A definite noun is assumed by the speaker to be already known by the interlocutor, whereas an indefinite noun is not specified as being previously known. Quantifiers, which include one, many, some and all, are used to specify the noun in terms of quantity or number. The noun must agree with the number of the determiner, e.g. one man (sg.) but all men (pl.).

Anaphoric pronouns such as that refer back to an entity already mentioned or assumed by the speaker to be known by the audience, for example in the sentence I already told you that.

The phrase then functions as a single predicate. In terms of intonation the preposition is fused to the verb, but in writing it is written as a separate word. Examples of phrasal verbs are to get up, to ask out, to back up, to give up, to get together, to hang out, to put up with, etc. The phrasal verb frequently has a highly <a href="/wiki/English-language_idioms" title="English-language idioms">idiomatic</a> meaning that is more specialised and restricted than what can be simply extrapolated from the combination of verb and preposition complement (e.g. lay off meaning terminate someone's employment).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDixon1982-220">[220]</a> In spite of the idiomatic meaning, some grammarians, including <a href="#CITEREFHuddlestonPullum2002">Huddleston & Pullum (2002</a>:274), do not consider this type of construction to form a syntactic constituent and hence refrain from using the term "phrasal verb".

A clause is built around a verb and includes its constituents, such as any NPs and PPs. Within a sentence, there is always at least one main clause (or matrix clause) whereas other clauses are subordinate to a main clause. Subordinate clauses may function as arguments of the verb in the main clause. For example, in the phrase I think (that) you are lying, the main clause is headed by the verb think, the subject is I, but the object of the phrase is the subordinate clause (that) you are lying. The subordinating conjunction that shows that the clause that follows is a subordinate clause, but it is often omitted.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMiller200260%E2%80%9369-226">[226]</a> <a href="/wiki/Relative_clause" title="Relative clause">Relative clauses</a> are clauses that function as a modifier or specifier to some constituent in the main clause: For example, in the sentence I saw the letter that you received today, the relative clause that you received today specifies the meaning of the word letter, the object of the main clause. Relative clauses can be introduced by the pronouns who, whose, whom, and which as well as by that (which can also be omitted.)<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEK%C3%B6nig1994545-227">[227]</a> In contrast to many other Germanic languages there are no major differences between word order in main and subordinate clauses.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEK%C3%B6nig1994557-228">[228]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Auxiliary_verb_constructions">Auxiliary verb constructions</h4></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Do-support" title="Do-support">Do-support</a>, <a href="/wiki/English_auxiliary_verbs" title="English auxiliary verbs">English auxiliary verbs</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Subject%E2%80%93auxiliary_inversion" title="Subject–auxiliary inversion">Subject–auxiliary inversion</a></div> English syntax relies on auxiliary verbs for many functions including the expression of tense, aspect, and mood. Auxiliary verbs form main clauses, and the main verbs function as heads of a subordinate clause of the auxiliary verb. For example, in the sentence the dog did not find its bone, the clause find its bone is the complement of the negated verb did not. <a href="/wiki/Subject%E2%80%93auxiliary_inversion" title="Subject–auxiliary inversion">Subject–auxiliary inversion</a> is used in many constructions, including focus, negation, and interrogative constructions. The verb do can be used as an auxiliary even in simple declarative sentences, where it usually serves to add emphasis, as in "I did shut the fridge." However, in the negated and inverted clauses referred to above, it is used because the rules of English <a href="/wiki/Syntax" title="Syntax">syntax</a> permit these constructions only when an auxiliary is present. <a href="/wiki/Modern_English" title="Modern English">Modern English</a> does not allow the addition of the negating adverb not to an ordinary <a href="/wiki/Finite_verb" title="Finite verb">finite</a> lexical verb, as in *I know not—it can only be added to an auxiliary (or <a href="/wiki/Copular_verb" class="mw-redirect" title="Copular verb">copular</a>) verb, hence if there is no other auxiliary present when negation is required, the auxiliary do is used, to produce a form like I do not (don't) know. The same applies in clauses requiring inversion, including most questions—inversion must involve the subject and an auxiliary verb, so it is not possible to say *Know you him?; grammatical rules require Do you know him?<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuddlestonPullum2002114-229">[229]</a> Negation is done with the adverb not, which precedes the main verb and follows an auxiliary verb. A contracted form of not -n't can be used as an enclitic attaching to auxiliary verbs and to the copula verb to be. Just as with questions, many negative constructions require the negation to occur with do-support, thus in Modern English I don't know him is the correct answer to the question Do you know him?, but not *I know him not, although this construction may be found in older English.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuddlestonPullum2002786%E2%80%93790-230">[230]</a> Passive constructions also use auxiliary verbs. A passive construction rephrases an active construction in such a way that the object of the active phrase becomes the subject of the passive phrase, and the subject of the active phrase is either omitted or demoted to a role as an oblique argument introduced in a prepositional phrase. They are formed by using the past participle either with the auxiliary verb to be or to get, although not all varieties of English allow the use of passives with get. For example, putting the sentence she sees him into the passive becomes he is seen (by her), or he gets seen (by her).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMiller200226%E2%80%9327-231">[231]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Questions">Questions</h4></div> Both <a href="/wiki/Yes%E2%80%93no_question" title="Yes–no question">yes–no questions</a> and <a href="/wiki/Wh-question" class="mw-redirect" title="Wh-question">wh-questions</a> in English are mostly formed using <a href="/wiki/Subject%E2%80%93auxiliary_inversion" title="Subject–auxiliary inversion">subject–auxiliary inversion</a> (Am I going tomorrow?, Where can we eat?), which may require <a href="/wiki/Do-support" title="Do-support">do-support</a> (Do you like her?, Where did he go?). In most cases, <a href="/wiki/Interrogative_word" title="Interrogative word">interrogative words</a> (wh-words; e.g. what, who, where, when, why, how) appear in a <a href="/wiki/Wh-movement" title="Wh-movement">fronted position</a>. For example, in the question What did you see?, the word what appears as the first constituent despite being the <a href="/wiki/Grammatical_object" class="mw-redirect" title="Grammatical object">grammatical object</a> of the sentence. (When the wh-word is the subject or forms part of the subject, no inversion occurs: Who saw the cat?.) <a href="/wiki/Prepositional_phrases" class="mw-redirect" title="Prepositional phrases">Prepositional phrases</a> can also be fronted when they are the questions theme, e.g. To whose house did you go last night?. The personal interrogative pronoun <a href="/wiki/Who_(pronoun)" title="Who (pronoun)">who</a> is the only interrogative pronoun to still show inflection for case, with the variant whom serving as the objective case form, although this form may be going out of use in many contexts.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuddlestonPullum20027%E2%80%938-232">[232]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Discourse_level_syntax">Discourse level syntax</h4></div> While English is a subject-prominent language, at the discourse level it tends to use a <a href="/wiki/Topic_and_comment" title="Topic and comment">topic-comment</a> structure, where the known information (topic) precedes the new information (comment). Because of the strict SVO syntax, the topic of a sentence generally has to be the grammatical subject of the sentence. In cases where the topic is not the grammatical subject of the sentence, it is often promoted to subject position through syntactic means. One way of doing this is through a passive construction, the girl was stung by the bee. Another way is through a <a href="/wiki/Cleft_sentence" title="Cleft sentence">cleft sentence</a> where the main clause is demoted to be a complement clause of a copula sentence with a <a href="/wiki/Dummy_subject" class="mw-redirect" title="Dummy subject">dummy subject</a> such as it or there, e.g. it was the girl that the bee stung, there was a girl who was stung by a bee.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuddlestonPullum20021365%E2%80%9370-233">[233]</a> Dummy subjects are also used in constructions where there is no grammatical subject such as with impersonal verbs (e.g., it is raining) or in existential clauses (there are many cars on the street). Through the use of these complex sentence constructions with informationally vacuous subjects, English is able to maintain both a topic-comment sentence structure and a SVO syntax. <a href="/wiki/Focus_(linguistics)" title="Focus (linguistics)">Focus constructions</a> emphasise a particular piece of new or salient information within a sentence, generally through allocating the main sentence level stress on the focal constituent. For example, the girl was stung by a bee (emphasising it was a bee and not, for example, a wasp that stung her), or The girl was stung by a bee (contrasting with another possibility, for example that it was the boy).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuddlestonPullum20021370-234">[234]</a> Topic and focus can also be established through syntactic dislocation, either preposing or postposing the item to be focused on relative to the main clause. For example, That girl over there, she was stung by a bee, emphasises the girl by preposition, but a similar effect could be achieved by postposition, she was stung by a bee, that girl over there, where reference to the girl is established as an "afterthought".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHuddlestonPullum20021366-235">[235]</a> <a href="/wiki/Cohesion_(linguistics)" title="Cohesion (linguistics)">Cohesion</a> between sentences is achieved through the use of deictic pronouns as <a href="/wiki/Anaphora_(linguistics)" title="Anaphora (linguistics)">anaphora</a> (e.g. that is exactly what I mean where that refers to some fact known to both interlocutors, or then used to locate the time of a narrated event relative to the time of a previously narrated event).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHallidayHasan1976-236">[236]</a> <a href="/wiki/Discourse_marker" title="Discourse marker">Discourse markers</a> such as oh, so, or well, also signal the progression of ideas between sentences and help to create cohesion.

Another productive word-formation process is nominal compounding,<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAlgeo1999-239">[239]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKastovsky2006-241">[241]</a> producing compound words such as babysitter or ice cream or homesick.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECrystal2003b129-242">[242]</a> A process more common in Old English than in Modern English, but still productive in Modern English, is the use of derivational suffixes (-hood, -ness, -ing, -ility) to derive new words from existing words (especially those of Germanic origin) or stems (especially for words of <a href="/wiki/List_of_Latin_words_with_English_derivatives" title="List of Latin words with English derivatives">Latin</a> or <a href="/wiki/English_words_of_Greek_origin" title="English words of Greek origin">Greek origin</a>).

The spelling system, or <a href="/wiki/Orthography" title="Orthography">orthography</a>, of English is multi-layered and complex, with elements of French, Latin, and Greek spelling on top of the native Germanic system.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESwan2006149-260">[260]</a> Further complications have arisen through <a href="/wiki/Sound_change" title="Sound change">sound changes</a> with which the orthography has not kept pace.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELass2000-53">[53]</a> Compared to European languages for which official organisations have promoted spelling reforms, English has spelling that is a less consistent indicator of pronunciation, and standard spellings of words that are more difficult to guess from knowing how a word is pronounced.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMountford2006-261">[261]</a> There are also systematic <a href="/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences" title="American and British English spelling differences">spelling differences between British and American English</a>.

While few scholars agree with Chomsky and Halle (1968) that conventional English orthography is "near-optimal",<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTESwan2006149-260">[260]</a> there is a rationale for current English spelling patterns.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAbercrombieDaniels2006-264">[264]</a> The standard orthography of English is the most widely used writing system in the world.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMountford2006156-265">[265]</a> Standard English spelling is based on a graphomorphemic segmentation of words into written clues of what meaningful units make up each word.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMountford2006157%E2%80%93158-266">[266]</a> Readers of English can generally rely on the correspondence between spelling and pronunciation to be fairly regular for letters or <a href="/wiki/Digraph_(orthography)" title="Digraph (orthography)">digraphs</a> used to spell consonant sounds. The letters b, d, f, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, v, w, y, z represent, respectively, the phonemes /b, d, f, h, dʒ, k, l, m, n, p, r, s, t, v, w, j, z/. The letters c and g normally represent /k/ and /ɡ/, but there is also a <a href="/wiki/Soft_c" class="mw-redirect" title="Soft c">soft c</a> pronounced /s/, and a <a href="/wiki/Hard_and_soft_G" title="Hard and soft G">soft g</a> pronounced /dʒ/. The differences in the pronunciations of the letters c and g are often signalled by the following letters in standard English spelling. Digraphs used to represent phonemes and phoneme sequences include ch for /tʃ/, sh for /ʃ/, th for /θ/ or /ð/, ng for /ŋ/, qu for /kw/, and ph for /f/ in Greek-derived words. The single letter x is generally pronounced as /z/ in word-initial position and as /ks/ otherwise. There are exceptions to these generalisations, often the result of loanwords being spelled according to the spelling patterns of their languages of origin<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDanielsBright1996653-263">[263]</a> or residues of proposals by scholars in the early period of Modern English to follow the spelling patterns of Latin for English words of Germanic origin.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEDanielsBright1996654-267">[267]</a> For the vowel sounds of the English language, however, correspondences between spelling and pronunciation are more irregular. There are many more vowel phonemes in English than there are single vowel letters (a, e, i, o, u, w, y). As a result, some "<a href="/wiki/Vowel_length#Short_and_long_vowels_in_English" title="Vowel length">long vowels</a>" are often indicated by combinations of letters (like the oa in boat, the ow in how, and the ay in stay), or the historically based <a href="/wiki/Silent_e" title="Silent e">silent e</a> (as in note and cake).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAbercrombieDaniels2006-264">[264]</a> The consequence of this complex orthographic history is that learning to read and write can be challenging in English.

The spread of RP (also known as BBC English) through the media has caused many traditional dialects of rural England to recede, as youths adopt the traits of the prestige variety instead of traits from local dialects. At the time of the 1950-61 <a href="/wiki/Survey_of_English_Dialects" title="Survey of English Dialects">Survey of English Dialects</a>, grammar and vocabulary differed across the country, but a process of lexical attrition has led most of this variation to disappear.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETrudgill1999125-275">[275]</a> Nonetheless, this attrition has mostly affected dialectal variation in grammar and vocabulary. In fact, only 3% of the English population actually speak RP, the remainder speaking in regional accents and dialects with varying degrees of RP influence.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHughesTrudgill19963-276">[276]</a> There is also variability within RP, particularly along class lines between Upper and Middle-class RP speakers and between native RP speakers and speakers who adopt RP later in life.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHughesTrudgill199637-277">[277]</a> Within Britain, there is also considerable variation along lines of social class; some traits, though exceedingly common, are nonetheless considered "non-standard" and associated with lower-class speakers and identities. An example of this is <a href="/wiki/H-dropping" title="H-dropping">h-dropping</a>, which was historically a feature of lower-class London English, particularly Cockney, and can now be heard in the local accents of most parts of England. However, it remains largely absent in broadcasting and among the upper crust of British society.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHughesTrudgill199640-278">[278]</a> <a href="/wiki/English_in_England" class="mw-redirect" title="English in England">English in England</a> can be divided into four major dialect regions: South East English, South West English (also known as <a href="/wiki/West_Country_English" title="West Country English">West Country English</a>), Midlands English and <a href="/wiki/English_language_in_Northern_England" title="English language in Northern England">Northern English</a>. Within each of these regions, several local dialects exist: within the Northern region, there is a division between the <a href="/wiki/Yorkshire_dialect" title="Yorkshire dialect">Yorkshire</a> dialects, the <a href="/wiki/Geordie" title="Geordie">Geordie</a> dialect (spoken around <a href="/wiki/Newcastle_upon_Tyne" title="Newcastle upon Tyne">Newcastle</a>, in <a href="/wiki/Northumbria_(modern)" title="Northumbria (modern)">Northumbria</a>) and the <a href="/wiki/Lancashire_dialect" title="Lancashire dialect">Lancashire</a> dialects, which include the urban subdialects of <a href="/wiki/Manchester" title="Manchester">Manchester</a> (<a href="/wiki/Manchester_dialect" title="Manchester dialect">Mancunian</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Liverpool" title="Liverpool">Liverpool</a> (<a href="/wiki/Scouse" title="Scouse">Scouse</a>). Having been the centre of Danish occupation during the Viking invasions of England, Northern English dialects, particularly the Yorkshire dialect, retain Norse features not found in other English varieties.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHughesTrudgill199631-279">[279]</a> Since the 15th century, South East England varieties have centred on London, which has been the centre from which dialectal innovations have spread to other dialects. In London, the <a href="/wiki/Cockney" title="Cockney">Cockney</a> dialect was traditionally used by the lower classes, and it was long a socially stigmatised variety. The spread of Cockney features across the South East led the media to talk of Estuary English as a new dialect, but the notion was criticised by many linguists on the grounds that London had been influencing neighbouring regions throughout history.<a href="#cite_note-280">[280]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERoach20094-281">[281]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETrudgill199980-282">[282]</a> Traits that have spread from London in recent decades include the use of <a href="/wiki/Linking_and_intrusive_R" title="Linking and intrusive R">intrusive R</a> (drawing is pronounced drawring /ˈdrɔːrɪŋ/), <a href="/wiki/T-glottalization" title="T-glottalization">t-glottalisation</a> (Potter is pronounced with a glottal stop as Po'er /ˈpɒʔə/) and <a href="/wiki/Th-fronting" title="Th-fronting">th-fronting</a>, or the pronunciation of th- as /f/ (thanks pronounced fanks) or /v/ (bother pronounced bover).<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETrudgill199980%E2%80%9381-283">[283]</a> <a href="/wiki/Scots_language" title="Scots language">Scots</a> is today considered a separate language from English, but it has <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_Scots_language" title="History of the Scots language">its origins</a> in early Northern Middle English<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAitkenMcArthur197981-284">[284]</a> and developed and changed during its history with influence from other sources, particularly <a href="/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic" title="Scottish Gaelic">Scots Gaelic</a> and Old Norse.

In <a href="/wiki/South_Africa" title="South Africa">South Africa</a>, English has been spoken since 1820, co-existing with <a href="/wiki/Afrikaans" title="Afrikaans">Afrikaans</a> and various African languages such as the <a href="/wiki/Khoe_languages" title="Khoe languages">Khoe</a> and <a href="/wiki/Bantu_languages" title="Bantu languages">Bantu languages</a>. Today, about nine percent of the South African population speaks <a href="/wiki/South_African_English" title="South African English">South African English</a> (SAE) as a first language. SAE is a non-rhotic variety that tends to follow RP as a norm. It is one of the few non-rhotic English varieties that lack intrusive R. The second-language varieties of South Africa differ based on the native languages of their speakers.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELanham1982-316">[316]</a> Most phonological differences from RP are in the vowels.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELass2002-317">[317]</a> Consonant differences include the tendency to pronounce /p, t, t͡ʃ, k/ without aspiration (e.g. pin pronounced [pɪn] rather than as [pʰɪn] as in most other varieties), while r is often pronounced as a flap [ɾ] instead of as the more common fricative.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETrudgillHannah200230%E2%80%9331-318">[318]</a> Nigerian English is a variety of English spoken in <a href="/wiki/Nigeria" title="Nigeria">Nigeria</a>.<a href="#cite_note-319">[319]</a> It has traditionally been based on British English, but in recent years, because of influence from the United States, some words of American English origin have made it into Nigerian English. Additionally, some new words and collocations have emerged from the variety out of a need to express concepts specific to the culture of the nation (e.g. senior wife). Over 150 million Nigerians speak English.<a href="#cite_note-320">[320]</a> Several varieties of English are also spoken in the Caribbean islands that were colonial possessions of Britain, including Jamaica, the <a href="/wiki/Leeward_Islands" title="Leeward Islands">Leeward</a> and <a href="/wiki/Windward_Islands" title="Windward Islands">Windward Islands</a> and <a href="/wiki/Trinidad_and_Tobago" title="Trinidad and Tobago">Trinidad and Tobago</a>, <a href="/wiki/Barbados" title="Barbados">Barbados</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Cayman_Islands" title="Cayman Islands">Cayman Islands</a> and <a href="/wiki/Belize" title="Belize">Belize</a>. Each of these areas is home both to a local variety of English and a local English-based creole, combining English and African languages. The most prominent varieties are <a href="/wiki/Jamaican_English" title="Jamaican English">Jamaican English</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jamaican_English_Creole" class="mw-redirect" title="Jamaican English Creole">Jamaican Creole</a>. In Central America, English-based creoles are spoken on the Caribbean coasts of Nicaragua and Panama.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELawton1982-321">[321]</a> Locals are often fluent in both the local English variety and the local creole languages, and <a href="/wiki/Code-switching" title="Code-switching">code-switching</a> between them is frequent. Indeed, a way to conceptualise the relationship between such creole and standard varieties is to view them as a spectrum of language registers in which the most creole-like forms serve as the "basilect" and the most RP-like forms serve as the "acrolect", the most formal register.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETrudgillHannah2002115-322">[322]</a> Most Caribbean varieties are based on British English and consequently, most are non-rhotic, except for formal styles of Jamaican English which are often rhotic. Jamaican English differs from RP in its vowel inventory, which has a distinction between long and short vowels rather than tense and lax vowels as in Standard English. The diphthongs /ei/ and /ou/ are monophthongs [eː] and [oː] or even the reverse diphthongs [ie] and [uo] (e.g. bay and boat pronounced [bʲeː] and [bʷoːt]). Often word-final consonant clusters are simplified so that "child" is pronounced [t͡ʃail] and "wind" [win].<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETrudgillHannah2002117%E2%80%9318-323">[323]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTELawton1982256%E2%80%9360-324">[324]</a><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETrudgillHannah2002115%E2%80%9316-325">[325]</a> As a historical legacy, <a href="/wiki/Indian_English" title="Indian English">Indian English</a> tends to take RP as its ideal, and how well this ideal is realised in an individual's speech reflects class distinctions among Indian English speakers.
