[quote=JABAROOTOO,330928]Firstly lets make it clear that English is the language of the English (Great British) and there are so many different dialects of English spoken in England and throughout the Bristish Isles. This includes Scotland, Wales, Ireland and all those smaller islands that few of us would remember the names of. Many of these nations also speak there OWN language which is VERY different to English. The Queen of England is probably the best example of standard and correctly spoken English. All other English is like my Native Strine (Australian) and American English. It is derived from a mongrel mix of most of the above mentioned English dialects and languages depending on the majority of immigrants who populated the various regions of our now great nations. It is not too difficult to pick the country and even the state that someone is from by how they speak, especially the vowel pronunciations. Having grown up on a steady diet of British, American and Australian TV, I personally prefer the standard British accent. Remnants of this can be found in other countries besides England, including India and other former British colonies. What's the best??? It shouldn't really matter so long as the speakers diction is clear and well articulated words well pronounced with the appropriate use of vocabulary. Not all English speakers, especially native speakers have perfect command of all the above and it wouldn't matter if one spoke English with an Americal or British accent if one cannot be understood by the majority of listeners.[/quote]
