The actuality and necessity of scientific research. The modern English language is an international language nowadays. English is spoken today on all five continents as a result of colonial expansion in the last four centuries or so. The colonial era is now definitely over but its consequences are clearly to be seen in the presence of English as an official and often native language in many of the former colonies.

The following are portmanteaus devised to describe certain local variants of English.

A few portmanteaus (such as Greeklish and Pinglish) are transliteration methods rather than any kind of spoken variant of English.
