However, in many other parts of the world, English is used as a second language or an official language. Countries such as India, Singapore, and the Philippines have developed their own unique varieties of English, influenced by local languages and cultures. These different forms of English are known as "World Englishes." They include variations in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. For example, in Indian English, people commonly say "prepone" instead of "reschedule." In Singapore, "Singlish" mixes English with words from Chinese and Malay. Despite these differences, English remains a global language, helping people from different countries communicate.
