The most standard English depends upon where one lives. For example, English spoken in Britain is standard for that country, and the same holds true for all other English speaking countries because each have their own idiomatic expressions, dialects, and pidgeon form of English.
dialect: a regional variety of language distinguished by features of vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation from other regional varieties and constituting together with them a single language
idiomatic: peculiar to a particular group, individual, or style
pidgin: a simplified speech used for communication between people with different languages
