Secondly, I don’t think that people would need a correct way to speak English in the first place, as English is just a language, a method of communication, so basically the one and only purpose of English is to help people communicate, so just as long people are able to understand each other, it doesn’t matter.

**STILL GONA ADD TO THIS LATER< NOT FINAL WORK!!!**

Do you think that correct grammar is the easiest way?

There are many English learners who struggle with correct grammar and even in the Uk itself poor use of grammar such as “me and my friend went to the cinema” or ” I should of done this” are quite common.

This is an important question, but I am tempted to add ‘or both’ to it as I don’t think forfeiting part of one’s identity and gaining opportunities are mutually exclusive. I suppose the choice (and whether it is even a choice) would depend on the individual’s values and economic situation.

Well British pronunciation is basically the original version of English, and the American pronunciation is probably the most common pronunciation beyond British pronunciation, due to the history of America (I‘ll not mention it since we all know). Also in Kachru’s three circle, British and American speakers are listed in the inner circle, which is the native speaker at the very beginning,  and they spread English everywhere. English doesn’t restrict you to use certain pronunciation, also pronunciation depends on your growing environment, your parents and neighbors speak what accent, you probably will speak the same one. But I noticed in China, cnc English has a strict pronunciation rule for every single word. Mr finch said it’s because Chinese has a strict pronunciation rule with four pitches, the meaning will change with the change of pitch. So, Chinese people take pronunciation very seriously, then they made cnc English serious about pronunciation. I think another reason is that for foreigners, there isn’t a language environment where they can hear and learn accents, so it might be difficult to correctly pronounce a certain word at first. So they need guidelines to help them get it correct.

The short of it is that, yes Indian English is considered a separate variety and has some features that are standard to most speakers of that variety, though there is considerable variation as the speakers of Indian English have a range of other languages influencing their pronunciation.

Interesting, the source you read is the same as the one I read

Why There’s No ‘Right’ Way To Speak English – Atlas Obscura

1. Can all knowledge be expressed in words or symbols? (And you could consider this question the opposite way round – is it possible to know knowledge without being able to express it in language?)
2. What knowledge might be lost if the whole world shared one common language?
3. How do our values and assumptions influence the language in which we
   express our ideas? (There is already a fair bit of discussion here on this topic already 🙂 )
4. In what ways can language be used to influence, persuade or manipulate people’s emotions?
5. To what extent do the names and labels that we use help or hinder the
   acquisition of knowledge?

Nicely expressed: “The idea that a British or American accent sounds more “proper” is a trained bias – not a linguistic fact.” 👍

A language will inevitably adapt to local contexts as it spreads throughout the world. Words, pronunciations, and even sentence structures change to reflect people’s realities, whether they be related to the social structures, foods, weather, or technology in their environment. Therefore, it’s not about one version being “pure” or “right,” but rather about each version being useful and significant to its users.

Indian English, Singapore English, and Jamaican Patois, for instance, all have similar origins but have evolved to reflect various cultures. Although we refer to them as “varieties,” they are all acceptable forms of English communication.
 

I​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ believe that the idea of a single correct version is largely influenced by social class and colonial heritage, rather than being based on linguistic logic. The idea that a British or American accent sounds more “proper” is a trained bias – not a linguistic fact. Therefore, if English is a means of communication, then understanding, rather than copying, should be the criterion of ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌correctness.
