Translation:
标准英语的多样性体现在印刷品和学校教学以及对非母语的学习者中。
同样在受教育人群交流和新闻传播和其他同样的情形。
标准英语和非标准英语的区别应该引起注意，标准英语和口语在原理上是没有区别的，
历史上，标准英语的多样性是建立在诺曼底登陆期后由温彻斯特到伦敦坊间的语言迁移而来。
在这之后这种方言开始在教育中推广，作为一种模式和标准逐渐发展和推广，在社会中的运用越来越广泛。
同样的标准被传输到海外，但是在这样的输出下并没有人受到影响。
今日，标准英语的语法和词汇世界各地的英语运用中大部分都是一样的，英语的多样性在地方标准中真正是次要的，比如在新加坡、南非、爱尔兰在语法和词汇涉及到的方面真正的区别很小。
实际上，标准英语的影响如此巨大，在区域多样性的影响产生了很大的影响力。
在许多长期建立的英语口语已经失去活力和在标准之上有相当大的压力。
这种最近的情况不仅仅对英语是唯一的，同样出现在其他国家的标准化过程中。
但是在有些时候存在的问题英语演讲者试图打击在地方和种族之间的一些妥协，甚至超越民族的。
