English, English has variations in spelling, pronunciation and phrase usage compared to US English. For example the word
Tyre in English, English and
Tire in US English.
There are also differences in word usage in Australia, New Zealand and other English speaking countries.
I know that there is a continued study on the development and evolution of languages but not sure where.
The study looks at how languages are changing in various regions and there is a particular focus on English as it is used in many parts of the world.

They do say we speak "American English," not "English English" For example, they say "flat" for "apartment," "lift" for "elevator," and "braces" for "suspenders." Also, when we use a Z in the middle of a word, a lot of the time they use an S.
