If you come across people saying or writing things like these, you may well wonder who they are, what they are saying, and what language they are speaking:

(from newspaper)
Health and environment him all big-fellow something all woman along country today he got big-fellow worry along him.

…which-one principal came here, she's just cheeky like the other one

(from newspaper apropos Sonja Gandhi)
What's more we should respect her for being a layak Indian bahu who stayed on to do her duty by her husband's family, she reared her children and instilled in them the best Indian values, she took care of her mother-in-law and husband's legacy.

(ten year old child to another child who said something in Igbo)

Tokam for inglish na, a no de hyar di ting we yu de tok.

There's a range of difference here, but all have a major component of what we call English. We might not call all of them New Englishes—(1) and (5) are from pidgins (at least originally)—but the others do illustrate the term. New/World/Global/Post Colonial Englishes have been developing and increasing in use in former colonies very rapidly and they have attracted a great deal of scholarly attention.

This is a course in language variation, and the core of our work will be collecting and analyzing samples of the different pronunciations and texts produced by users of these New Englishes. We will explore Mesthrie and Bhatt's claim that New English departures from the standard in accent, grammar, vocabulary, discourse markers, and speech acts cluster rather closely together. At the same time, we see "the standard (or standards)" and standardization in a new light. In addition to sharpening the analytic skills introduced in ENGL 370/ LINGS 200/400, we will learn to use the International Corpus of English corpora. Though we concentrate on linguistic analysis, we will not forget that these New Englishes are emerging as a result of historical and political forces and decisions about national identities and policies.
