REGIONAL VARIATIONS OF ENGLISH IN SOCIAL MEDIA
Main Article Content
Abstract
English is spoken by over 500 million people. In terms of the number of speakers, it is second only to Chinese and Hindi. The widespread use of the English language and its fame throughout the world is due to the extensive colonization of the British Empire in the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as the political influence and economic dominance of the United States from the late nineteenth century to the present day.
