Braj Kachru was a Professor of Linguistics who invented the term ‘World Englishes’. The term refers to the fact that English has become a global means of communication with a lot of varieties.
In 1985, Kachru proposed a model of the different uses of English around the world. There are three concentric circles in the model.
The first of these circles is the Inner Circle, which consists of the traditional English-speaking countries, such as the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. In these regions, English is the first language, and their speakers provide the standards of English.
The next circle is the Outer Circle where English is not the first language but the second or official language. The countries in this circle include India, Singapore, the Philippines, Pakistan, Malaysia, etc. The speakers of these places follow the standards which the countries in the Inner Circle provide.
The last circle is the Expanding Circle. People in this circle speak English as a foreign language. Some of the countries in the Expanding Circle are Brazil, Japan, Russia, and Viet Nam. Speakers of English in these places follow the rules which the people in the Inner Circle have established.
