THE IMPACT

Of british colonialism
ENGLISH WAS ESTABLISHED AS THE LANGUAGE OF ADMINISTRATION AND
EDUCATION.
IT ALSO BECAME OFFICIAL LANGUAGE AND GOVERNMENT SUCH AS IN MALAYSIA ,
SINGAPORE AND HONG KONG.
ALONGSIDE WITH THE
STANDARD VARITIES OF
ENGLISH THAT WERE USE
IN OFFICIAL PURPOSES ,
THERE WERE ALSO
EMERGED LANGUAGE
VARIETIES WHICH
SOCIOLINGUISTS CALL
PIDGINS.
AS A RESULT OF COLONIZATION ,
ENGLISH FOUND ITS WAY TO
AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND.
IN AUSTRALIA , THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARRIVED WHEN
THE BRITISH EMPIRE ESTABLISHED A PANEL COLONY AT
SYDNEY IN 1788. AT THAT TIME IT WAS FELT TO BE A
SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM OF OVERCROWDING
IN ENGLISH PRISONS.
THE SETTLEMENT OF BRITISH OCCURRED LATER IN 1840.. NEW
ZEALAND WAS SETTLED AS A FREE COLONY AND ATTRACTED
IMMIGRANTS FROM SOUTHERN ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND..AND
THE IMMIGRANTS DIALECTS HAD MIXED AND NEW
PRONUNCIATIONS AND VOCABULARY HAD EMERGED OVER TIME
There were a certain amount of the indigenous
people from the aboriginal Australian from
Australia and the Mauri people from new
Zealand . Different lifestyle between the
settlers and the indigenous people . There were
racist differences in the immigrant population .
And they culture contact were limited.
BY THE 19TH CENTURY , ENGLISH HAS
SPREAD OUT ACROSS THE GLOBE AS A
CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXPANSION
OF THE LARGEST EMPIRE …
IN THE FIRST HALF OF 20TH CENTURY.THE BRITISH EMPIRE WERE BEGAN DECLINED .
NEVERTHELESS BY THIS TIME ENGLISH WAS ESTABLISHED AS A LANGUAGE USED FAR
BEYOND BOUNDARIES OF BRITISH ISLES. FURTHERMORE THE SPREAD OF ENGLISH
WILL CONTINUE THROUGH OUT THE 20TH CENTURY AND INTO THE 21ST .HOWEVER THE
MECHANISM THAT WOULD TURN ENGLISH INTO GLOBAL LANGUAGE IS NOT
COLONIZATION BUT A COMBINATION OF TECHNOLOGY , ECONOMICS AND POLITICS.
