English is used as an official language in over 60 countries of the world. Since it is an international language, different varieties of English are spoken around the world. The English spoken by the non-native speakers of English tends to be different from the English spoken by the native speakers. It happens because the non-native speakers of English are bi-lingual or multi-lingual. Therefore, dialectical variations become an integral part of the English language articulated by the non-native speakers of English.
