Hi to everyone!
I would be very glad if you could help me with variants or varieties of the English language. I need information about American English, British English, Australian English, New Zealand English and Canadian English.
Wikipedia gives just some data but i would like to have it in details.
Thanks for reading and looking forward to see your links. |
