Standard English (SE) is any form of the English language that is accepted as a national norm in a particular English-speaking country.[1] In the British Isles, particularly in England and Wales, it is often associated with: the "Received Pronunciation" accent (there are several variants of the accent) and UKSE (United Kingdom Standard English), which refers to grammar and vocabulary. In Scotland the standard is Scottish Standard English. In the United States it is generally associated with General American and in Australia with General Australian.[2]
