English has quickly grown into an international language of communication and business. As a result of the spread of culture and the subsequent growth of the British Empire, English has become a bridge used to communicate with people all around the world.
Like many other languages, the correct pronunciation of English depends largely on the area in which it is spoken, but an accent is how people pronounce words while a dialect includes not only pronunciation but grammar and vocabulary. This alteration in vocabulary and grammar of the language is referred to as a dialect in that particular area.

A wide range of vernacular languages stems from a blend of mixed language comprehension combined with local personal delivery. This has resulted in hundreds of changing dialects around the world, introducing a broader global understanding and delivery of the English language.
Some of the most widely spoken English languages include those from Australia, The US, the UK, Jamaica, India, Canada, and beyond. The vernacular in those regions makes the language delivery itself by combining cultural phrases with certain words in a language that cannot be distinguished from the outside world these dialects often change in different regions of the region to transform into vernacular languages.
British English
British English is a common vernacular or English language used in Great Britain, different from that used elsewhere. There is little regional variation in official English, written in the United Kingdom. English is a West Germanic language derived from the Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Britain by German immigrants from various parts of what is now northwestern Germany and the north of the Netherlands.
The local population of the period was much more common than the everyday Brittonic — a variety of continental Celtic, which was influenced by the Roman occupation.
American English
American English sometimes called U.S English or United States English is a collection of English language variants that originated in the United States and is widely accepted in Canada. English is the most widely spoken language in The Unites States and is a common language used by the coalition government, which is considered a national language because of its widespread use. English has official status by 32 out of 50 state governments.
Australian English
Australian English is a major variant of the English language throughout Australia. Although English has no official position in the constitution, Australian English is the national language and is the official language of the country as it is the first language of the majority of the population.
Canadian English
Canadian English is a collection of English language variants of Canadian origin. According to the 2011 census, English was the first language of Canada's estimated 19 million people, 57% of the population, and the rest of the population was native Canadian French speakers 22% of the population.
Canadian English is the product of waves lasting more than two centuries.
Indian English
English replaced Persian as the official language of the East India Company in 1835 (India at that time and today, is one of the world’s linguistically diverse regions).
Lord Macaulay played a key role in introducing English and western concepts in Indian education. He supported the Persian translation into English as the official language.
The idea of this language among many Indians has shifted from colonialism to economic development, and English continues to be the official language of India, despite having an Indian twist, commonly known as Indian English.
Summary
Although it all applies to speech only, not to English writing.
Language is diverse, and it is a manifestation of diversity. It is an individual, with a manifestation of personality and identity. Agreements play a role in communications, which are also a major part of ownership, but are limited, and easy to read.
Think of the different dialects of English as helpers, not as barriers.
