Territorial varieties of English pronunciation

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. Another legacy of colonialism is that English fulfils the function of a lingua franca (for example, in Nigeria). It is also the first spoken language of such countries as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and South Africa.
