English is the language of global village today. Americans simplified British English and made it American. In the last some decades, American English has been getting acceptance around the world. English was introduced and promoted by the British in all the continents. Even today, British pronunciation is considered better in many parts of the world. British English pronunciation has some impact of its historical development,that's why some high standard.

American English is simplified in spellings, pronunciation and style of speaking and writing. They don't have more pauses in speaking and have many abbreviated forms in writing.

American English is easy to learn. Many people feel it difficult, as basically, in speaking Americans don't have more pauses and are simply fluent. Technologies and the Internet are making us learn or develop in American English.

Spoken English is influenced by geographical reasons. As it is said that in Singapore, they speak no English but Singlish and in India -Hinglish. In Australia and South Africa, they have their respective accents. In today's world, good spoken English skill is very important. People go to do jobs and businesses around the world. They have to communicate in some common language -English. Telecoms and aviation developments have also played very important role in making the world a global village. Social networking sites, skype, ebay, paypal and messengers etc. have have made the world talk and interact in English as our forefathers used to chat in local vegetable markets in small towns.

Spoken English, if it is flexible - British or American. It is very important skill for every developing global individual. Written English is equally important, people have to read and write around the world - emails, contents for sites, blogs, papers, magazines and books and so on. It is again required British or American Written English.

In today's global village, English - British or American & spoken or written- has to be used and needs to be developed consistently and persistently.

Let us take the case of Indian English. English is very important language in India. Professionals, Businessmen,Politicians and even government employees use English in day to day living and working lives. Many regional languages are used in India as Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Kashmiri, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu and Urdu. Konkani, Manipuri and Nepali have been added.

English is being taught in schools and colleges.Indian writers have been doing well in English writing on global level. In fiction and non-fiction, they are also recognized in the USA and Great Britain. And Indians are very good at learning American English. In fact, India had also been ruled for around 150 years by the British. So, English is there as good as it is in England or America, besides, they also love speaking in many regional languages. Only basic difference is that they never formally made their English- Indian English.

Indians are adaptable in English,when they talk and write in American English or for Americans, they find it very easy to adjust. They have already started playing important role in development of the world. How many Indians are in different parts of the world, developing in different areas to different nations.

After all, language is just a tool to communicate and we all need to learn and develop in many languages. O.K., English is good to use as common language of the world as it is used in whole world but other languages are equally important as German, French, Spanish, Hindi, Chinese and Japanese etc. In fact, seven languages are good to be learned, if not Hindi, Portuguese or Arabic or Italian or some others. Isn't it good if a global individual can use seven languages and develop oneself and the world.
