'''Bahasa Inggris''' (''English'') adalah sebuah [[Rumpun bahasa Jermanik|bahasa Jermanik]] yang pertama kali dituturkan di [[Inggris]] pada [[Abad Pertengahan|Abad Pertengahan Awal]] dan saat ini merupakan bahasa yang paling umum digunakan di seluruh dunia.<ref>{{cite news|last=Mydans|first=Seth|date=14-05-2007|url=http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/14/world/asia/14iht-14englede.5705671.html|title=Across cultures, English is the word|newspaper=[[The New York Times]]|accessdate=21-09-2011|language=bahasa Inggris|archive-date=2021-08-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210815214955/https://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/14/world/asia/14iht-14englede.5705671.html|dead-url=no}}</ref> Bahasa Inggris dituturkan sebagai bahasa pertama oleh mayoritas penduduk di berbagai negara, antara lain di [[Britania Raya|Inggris Raya]], [[Republik Irlandia|Irlandia]], [[Amerika Serikat]], [[Kanada]], [[Australia]], [[Selandia Baru]], dan sejumlah negara-negara [[Karibia]]; serta menjadi [[bahasa resmi]] di hampir 60 negara berdaulat. Bahasa Inggris adalah [[bahasa ibu]] ketiga yang paling banyak dituturkan di seluruh dunia, setelah [[bahasa Mandarin]] dan [[bahasa Spanyol|Spanyol]].<ref name="ethnologue" /> Bahasa Inggris juga digunakan sebagai [[bahasa kedua]] dan bahasa resmi oleh [[Uni Eropa]], [[Negara Persemakmuran]], dan [[Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa]], serta beragam organisasi lainnya.

Bahasa Inggris berkembang pertama kali di kerajaan-kerajaan Anglo-Saxon Inggris dan di wilayah yang saat ini merupakan [[Skotlandia]] tenggara. Setelah meluasnya pengaruh Inggris Raya pada abad ke-17 dan ke-20 melalui [[Imperium Britania Raya|Imperium Inggris Raya]], bahasa Inggris tersebar luas di seluruh dunia.{{sfn|Ammon|2006|p=2245-2247}}{{sfn|Schneider|2007|p=1}}{{sfn|Mazrui|Mazrui|1998|p=21}}<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Fakultas Adab dan Humaniora UIN Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung|last2=Kustanti|first2=Dewi|last3=Prihmayadi|first3=Yadi|date=2017-06-20|title=PROBLEMATIKA BUDAYA BERBICARA BAHASA INGGRIS|url=https://journal.uinsgd.ac.id/index.php/jat/article/view/1798/1197|journal=Al-Tsaqafa: Jurnal Ilmiah Peradaban Islam|volume=14|issue=1|pages=161–174|doi=10.15575/al-tsaqafa.v14i1.1798|access-date=2023-01-07|archive-date=2023-01-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230107061906/https://journal.uinsgd.ac.id/index.php/jat/article/view/1798/1197|dead-url=no}}</ref> Di samping itu, luasnya penggunaan bahasa Inggris juga disebabkan oleh penyebaran kebudayaan dan teknologi Amerika Serikat yang mendominasi di sepanjang abad ke-20.<ref>Hjarvard, Stig (2004) [https://web.archive.org/web/20080908064103/http://www.nordicom.gu.se/common/publ_pdf/157_075-098.pdf "The globalization of language: How the media contribute to the spread of English and the emergence of medialects"] Trans.

Menurut sejarahnya, bahasa Inggris berasal dari peleburan beragam dialek yang saling berkerabat, yang di zaman sekarang secara kolektif dikenal sebagai [[bahasa Inggris Kuno]], yang dibawa ke pantai timur [[Pulau Britania Raya]] oleh pendatang [[Suku bangsa Jermanik|Jermanik]] (Anglo-Saxon) pada abad ke-5; kata ''English'' berasal dari nama suku [[Suku Angli|Angli]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/English |title=English&nbsp;– Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary |publisher=Merriam-webster.com |date=25 April 2007 |accessdate=4 November 2012 |archive-date=2015-03-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150325140932/http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/english |dead-url=no }}</ref> Bangsa Anglo-Saxon ini sendiri berasal dari wilayah [[Anglia]] (saat ini [[Schleswig-Holstein]], [[Jerman]]). Bahasa Inggris awal juga dipengaruhi oleh [[bahasa Nordik Kuno]] setelah [[Viking]] menaklukkan Inggris pada abad ke-9 dan ke-10.

[[Penaklukan Inggris oleh Norman]] pada abad ke-11 menyebabkan bahasa Inggris juga mendapat pengaruh dari [[bahasa Norman|bahasa Prancis Norman]], dan kosakata serta [[ejaan]] dalam bahasa Inggris mulai dipengaruhi oleh [[bahasa Latin]] Romawi (meskipun bahasa Inggris sendiri bukan termasuk [[rumpun bahasa Roman]]),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?historyid=ab13 |title=Words on the brain: from 1&nbsp;million years ago? |work=History of language |accessdate=5 September 2010 |archive-date=2013-09-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928225527/http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/plaintexthistories.asp?historyid=ab13 |dead-url=no }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.orbilat.com/Influences_of_Romance/English/RIFL-English-Latin-The_Inflluences_on_Old_English.html |title=Latin Influences on Old English |author=Baugh, Albert C. and Cable, Thomas |year=1978 |work=An excerpt from Foreign Influences on Old English |accessdate=5 September 2010 |archive-date=2010-11-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101127073603/http://orbilat.com/Influences_of_Romance/English/RIFL-English-Latin-The_Inflluences_on_Old_English.html |dead-url=yes }}</ref> yang kemudian dikenal dengan [[bahasa Inggris Pertengahan]]. [[Pergeseran Vokal Besar]] yang dimulai di Inggris bagian selatan pada abad ke-15 adalah salah satu peristiwa bersejarah yang menandai peralihan bahasa Inggris Pertengahan menjadi [[bahasa Inggris Modern]].

Selain bahasa Anglo-Saxon dan [[bahasa Prancis Norman]], sejumlah besar kata dalam bahasa Inggris juga berakar dari [[bahasa Latin]], karena bahasa Latin adalah ''lingua franca'' [[Kekristenan|Gereja Kristen]] dan bahasa utama di kalangan intelektual Eropa,<ref name="Weissbort">Daniel Weissbort (2006). "Translation: theory and practice: a historical reader". p.100. Oxford University Press, 2006</ref> dan telah menjadi dasar kosakata bagi bahasa Inggris modern.

Karena telah mengalami perpaduan beragam kata dari berbagai bahasa di sepanjang sejarah, bahasa Inggris modern memiliki kosakata yang sangat banyak, dengan ejaan yang kompleks dan tidak teratur (''irregular''), khususnya vokal. Bahasa Inggris modern tidak hanya merupakan perpaduan dari bahasa-bahasa Eropa, tetapi juga dari berbagai bahasa di seluruh dunia. ''[[Oxford English Dictionary]]'' memuat daftar lebih dari 250.000 kata berbeda, tidak termasuk istilah-istilah teknis, sains, dan ''[[slang]]'' (bahasa gaul) yang jumlahnya juga sangat banyak.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/page/howmanywords|title=How many words are there in the English Language?|website=Oxford Dictionaries|publisher=Oxford University Press|language=bahasa Inggris|accessdate=19-02-2016|archive-date=2011-11-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111130011051/http://oxforddictionaries.com/page/howmanywords|dead-url=yes}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vistawide.com/languages/language_statistics.htm |title=Vista Worldwide Language Statistics |publisher=Vistawide.com |accessdate=31-10-2010 |language=bahasa Inggris |archive-date=2016-11-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161120144244/http://www.vistawide.com/languages/language_statistics.htm |dead-url=no }}</ref>

== Etimologi ==
Kata ''English'' berasal dari eponim ''Angle'', nama suku Jermanik yang diperkirakan berasal dari wilayah Angeln di [[Jutlandia]] (sekarang Jerman utara).<ref>{{OEtymD|english}}</ref> Untuk kemungkinan [[etimologi]] kata ini, lihat artikel [[Angeln]] dan [[Suku Angli|Angles]].

Bahasa Inggris merupakan bahasa [[Rumpun bahasa Indo-Eropa|Indo-Eropa]] yang termasuk ke dalam cabang [[Rumpun bahasa Jermanik Barat|Jermanik Barat]] dari subrumpun [[Rumpun bahasa Jermanik|Jermanik]].{{sfn|Bammesberger|1992|pp=29–30}} [[Bahasa Inggris Kuno]] berasal dari sebuah wilayah [[kesinambungan dialek]] dan budaya di sekujur pesisir [[Laut Utara]] [[Frisia]]. Ragam tutur di wilayah ini secara bertahap berkembang menjadi [[Rumpun bahasa Inggris|bahasa-bahasa Anglik]] di Kepulauan Britania serta [[Bahasa Frisia|bahasa-bahasa Frisia]] dan [[Jerman Hulu|Jerman Hulu/Saksen Hulu]] di [[Eropa Daratan]]. Bahasa-bahasa Frisia merupakan kerabat terdekat bagi bahasa Inggris dan bahasa-bahasa Anglik lainnya; keseluruhan bahasa ini tergabung dalam subkelompok [[Rumpun bahasa Anglo-Frisia|Anglo-Frisia]]. Ragam tutur Jerman Hulu/Saksen Hulu juga berkerabat dekat dengan subkelompok ini; terkadang bahasa-bahasa Inggris, Frisia, dan Jerman Hulu digolongkan ke dalam subkelompok [[Rumpun bahasa Ingvaeonik|Ingvaeonik (Jermanik Laut Utara)]], walaupun pengelompokan ini masih diperselisihkan keabsahannya.{{sfn|Bammesberger|1992|p=30}} Bahasa Inggris Kuno berevolusi menjadi bahasa Inggris Pertengahan, yang kemudian menurunkan bahasa Inggris Modern.{{sfn|Robinson|1992}} Beberap ragam tutur bahasa Inggris Kuno dan Pertengahan juga berkembang menjadi bahasa-bahasa Anglik lainnya, seperti [[Bahasa Scots|Bahasa Skot]] yang dituturkan di Skotlandia{{sfn|Romaine|1982|pp=56–65}}, atau ragam [[Dialek Fingal|Fingal]] serta [[Dialek Forth dan Bargy|Forth dan Bargy (Yola)]] di Irlandia.{{sfn|Barry|1982|pp=86–87}}

Sebagaimana [[bahasa Islandia]] dan [[Bahasa Faroe|Faroe]] yang berkembang di kepulauan terpisah dari daratan Eropa, perkembangan bahasa Inggris di Kepulauan Britania membuatnya terisolasi dari pengaruh bahasa-bahasa Jermanik daratan. Bahasa Inggris pun berubah secara signifikan. Bahasa Inggris tidak [[kesalingpahaman|berkesalingpahaman]] dengan bahasa Jermanik kontinental mana pun, akibat perbedaan dalam hal [[Leksikon|kosa kata]], [[sintaksis]], dan [[fonologi]]. Walaupun begitu, beberapa di antaranya, seperti bahasa Belanda dan Frisia, memiliki kedekatan yang kuat dengan bahasa Inggris, terutama pada tahap-tahap awal pembetukannya.{{sfn|Harbert|2007}}

Namun, tidak seperti bahasa Islandia dan Faroe yang terisolasi, bahasa Inggris berkembang dengan pengaruh yang didapatkan melalui serangkaian invasi pihak luar ke Kepualaun Britania, terutama oleh penutur bahasa [[Bahasa Norse Kuno|Norse Kuno]] dan [[Bahasa Norman|Perancis Norman]]. Bahasa-bahasa ini meninggalkan pengaruh yang dalam, sampai-sampai bahasa Inggris memiliki beberapa kesamaan dalam hal kosa kata dan tata bahasa dengan banyak bahasa di luar [[kladus]] linguistiknya—walaupun hal ini tidak lantas menjadikan penutur bahasa Inggris dapat saling paham dengan penutur bahasa-bahasa tersebut. Beberapa peneliti bahkan berpendapat bahwa bahasa Inggris dapat dianggap sebagai [[bahasa campuran]] atau [[bahasa kreol|kreol]]. Pandangan ini juga dikenal sebagai [[hipotesis kreol Inggris Pertengahan]]. Meski begitu, terlepas dari pengaruh bahasa-bahasa lain terhadap kosa kata dan tata bahasa Inggris Modern yang diakui secara luas, sebagian besar ahli di bidang [[kontak bahasa]] tidak menganggap bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa campuran sejati.{{sfn|Thomason|Kaufman|1988|pp=264–265}}{{sfn|Watts|2011|loc=Chapter 4}}

Bahasa Inggris digolongkan sebagai bahasa Jermanik karena ia mengalami beberapa [[perubahan bahasa|inovasi bahasa]] yang sama dengan bahasa-bahasa Jermanik lainnya seperti [[bahasa Belanda]], [[Bahasa Jerman|Jerman]], dan [[Bahasa Swedia|Swedia]].{{sfn|Durrell|2006}} Inovasi-inovasi ini menunjukkan bahwa bahasa-bahasa tersebut diturunkan dari leluhur bersama, yaitu [[bahasa Proto-Jermanik]]. Termasuk di antara ciri khas bahasa Jermanik adalah: pemabgian verba-verba menjadi kelas [[Verba kuat Jermanik|verba kuat]] dan [[Verba lemah Jermanik|verba lemah]], penggunaan [[verba modal]], serta perubahan-perubahan bunyi yang berdampak pada konsonan-konsonan dari [[bahasa Proto-Indo-Europa]], seperti [[Hukum Grimm]] dan [[Hukum Verner]]. Bahasa Inggris digolongkan sebagai bagian dari cabang Anglo-Frisia, sebab bahasa Frisia dan bahasa Inggris berbagi ciri yang lebih spesifik, seperti [[palatalisasi]] konsonan velar Proto-Germanik<!--(lihat {{section link|Sejarah fonologi bahasa Inggris Kuno|Palatalisasi}})-->.{{sfn|König|van der Auwera|1994}}

Pada awalnya, [[bahasa Inggris Kuno]] terdiri dari beragam kelompok dialek, yang mencerminkan beragam suku yang menghuni [[Inggris Anglo-Saxon]],<ref>Graddol, David; Leith, Dick and Swann, Joan (1996) ''English: History, Diversity and Change'', New York: Routledge, p. 101, ISBN 0-415-13118-9.</ref> tetapi [[Dialek Saxon Barat (bahasa Inggris Kuno)|dialek Saxon Barat]] perlahan-lahan mulai mendominasi, seperti yang tertulis dalam syair ''[[Beowulf]]''.

Bahasa Inggris Kuno kemudian diubah lagi oleh dua gelombang invasi. Yang pertama adalah invasi oleh penutur bahasa [[Rumpun bahasa Jermanik Utara|Jermanik Utara]], ketika [[Halfdan Ragnarsson]] dan [[Ivar the Boneless]] mulai menaklukkan dan menguasai Kepulauan Britania bagian utara pada abad ke-8 dan ke-9 (lihat [[Danelaw]]). Invasi kedua berasal dari penutur [[bahasa Romawi]] [[Bahasa Normandia Kuno|Normandia Kuno]] pada abad ke-11 setelah [[Penaklukan Normandia di Inggris|penaklukan Normandia terhadap Inggris]]. Normandia mengembangkan bahasa Inggris menjadi [[bahasa Anglo-Norman]], dan kemudian [[Hukum Prancis|Anglo-Prancis]]{{ndash}}dan memperkenalkan penggolongan kata, khususnya di kalangan istana dan pemerintahan. Normandia juga memperluas [[leksikon]] bahasa Inggris dengan menyerap kata-kata dari bahasa Skandinavia dan Prancis. Hal ini pada akhirnya menyederhanakan tatabahasa dan mengubah bahasa Inggris menjadi sebuah "bahasa pinjaman"{{ndash}}bahasa yang secara terbuka menerima kata-kata baru dari bahasa lain.

Pergeseran linguistik dalam bahasa Inggris setelah pendudukan Normandia menghasilkan bahasa baru yang saat ini dikenal dengan bahasa Inggris Pertengahan; ''[[The Canterbury Tales]]'' karya [[Geoffrey Chaucer]] adalah karya terkenal yang ditulis dalam bahasa ini. Pada periode ini, bahasa Latin merupakan ''lingua franca'' di kalangan Gereja Kristen dan intelektual Eropa, dan karya-karya ditulis atau disalin dalam bahasa Latin.<ref name="Weissbort"/> Kata-kata Latin kemudian turut diserap untuk menciptakan istilah atau konsep yang tidak terdapat dalam kata bahasa Inggris asli.

Pemakaian [[bahasa Inggris Modern]], termasuk dalam karya-karya [[William Shakespeare]]<ref>[[Fausto Cercignani|Cercignani, Fausto]] (1981) ''Shakespeare's Works and Elizabethan Pronunciation'', Oxford, Clarendon Press.</ref> dan [[Alkitab Versi Raja James]], umumnya bermula sejak tahun 1550, dan setelah [[Britania Raya]] menjadi kekuatan kolonial, bahasa Inggris berfungsi sebagai ''lingua franca'' di negara-negara jajahan [[Imperium Britania]]. Pada periode pascakolonial, beberapa negara baru yang memiliki [[ragam bahasa|beragam bahasa]] pribumi memilih untuk tetap menggunakan bahasa Inggris sebagai ''lingua franca'' untuk menghindari pertentangan politik yang mungkin muncul akibat menggunakan salah satu bahasa pribumi ketimbang bahasa yang lainnya. Sebagai akibat pertumbuhan Imperium Britania, bahasa Inggris digunakan secara luas di wilayah bekas jajahan Britania di Amerika Utara, [[India]], [[Afrika Selatan]], [[Australia]], [[Singapura]], dan di berbagai wilayah lainnya. Penggunaan bahasa Inggris semakin meluas setelah Amerika Serikat muncul sebagai [[negara adidaya]] pada pertengahan abad ke-20.

== Bahasa terkait ==
=== Rumpun bahasa Jermanik ===
Bahasa Inggris berasal dari rumpun bahasa [[Rumpun bahasa Anglo-Frisia|Anglo-Frisia]], subkelompok dari [[Rumpun bahasa Jermanik Barat|bahasa Jermanik Barat]]. Bahasa Jermanik Barat sendiri adalah salah satu cabang dari [[rumpun bahasa Jermanik]], sedangkan Jermanik adalah bagian dari [[rumpun bahasa Indo-Eropa]]. Bahasa Inggris modern diturunkan secara langsung dari bahasa Inggris Pertengahan; Inggris Pertengahan diturunkan dari [[bahasa Inggris Kuno]], yang juga diturunkan dari [[bahasa Proto-Jermanik]]. Seperti kebanyakan bahasa Jermanik lainnya, bahasa Inggris dicirikan dengan penggunaan [[kata kerja pengandaian]], pembagian kata kerja menjadi [[kata kerja kuat Jermanik|kata kerja kuat]] dan [[kata kerja lemah Jermanik|lemah]], dan pergeseran pelafalan dari [[bahasa Proto-Indo-Eropa]], yang dikenal dengan [[hukum Grimm]]. Bahasa kerabat terdekat dengan bahasa Inggris (selain bahasa-bahasa yang tergolong dalam [[rumpun bahasa Inggris]] dan bahasa Inggris kreol) adalah [[bahasa Frisia]], yang berasal dari pantai selatan [[Laut Utara]] di [[Belanda]], [[Jerman]], dan [[Denmark]].

Selain dengan bahasa Frisia, bahasa lainnya yang juga terkait jauh dengan bahasa Inggris adalah bahasa-bahasa Jermanik Barat non-Anglo-Frisia ([[bahasa Belanda]], [[Afrikaans]], [[Jerman Hulu]], [[bahasa Jerman|Jerman Hilir]], [[bahasa Yiddish|Yiddish]]) serta [[rumpun bahasa Jermanik Utara]] ([[bahasa Swedia|Swedish]], [[bahasa Denmark|Denmark]], [[bahasa Norwegia|Norwegia]], [[bahasa Islandia|Islandia]], dan [[bahasa Faroe|Faroe]]). Tidak ada satupun dari bahasa-bahasa tersebut yang saling berpahaman dengan bahasa Inggris, umumnya karena perbedaan [[leksis (linguistik)|leksis]], [[sintaks]], [[semantik]], dan [[fonologi]], serta isolasi yang dialami oleh bahasa Inggris di [[Kepulauan Britania]] yang terpisah dari dataran Eropa, meskipun beberapa bahasa seperti Belanda memiliki afinitas yang cukup kuat dengan bahasa Inggris, terutama pada tingkat dasar. Pengisolasian telah memungkinkan bahasa Inggris (serta bahasa Islandia dan Faroe) untuk berkembang secara mandiri dan terpisah dari pengaruh bahasa Jermanik Eropa daratan.<ref>[[#Baugh|Baugh]], p. 336.</ref>
[[Berkas:Øvre Stabu spearhead.png|jmpl|kiri|[[Ujung tombak Øvre Stabu]] dari abad ke-2 yang bertuliskan ''Raunijaz'' ("tester") dalam [[bahasa Proto-Norse]], salah satu sampel tertulis bahasa Jermanik paling awal.]]

Selain karena isolasi, perbedaan leksikal antara bahasa Inggris dengan bahasa Jermanik lainnya juga disebabkan oleh [[Linguistik sejarah|perubahan diakronis]], [[Perubahan semantik|pergeseran semantik]], dan banyaknya kata bahasa Inggris yang diserap dari bahasa lain, terutama Latin dan Perancis (meskipun penyerapan kata ini sama sekali bukanlah hal unik bagi bahasa Inggris). Misalnya: kata "''exit''" diserap dari bahasa Latin, bukannya ''uitgang'' (Belanda) dan ''Ausgang'' (Jerman), juga kata "''change''" (Perancis).

Pada tahun 2016, sekitar 400&nbsp;juta orang menggunakan bahasa Inggris sebagai [[bahasa ibu|bahasa pertama]] mereka, sementara 1.1&nbsp;milyar orang menuturkannya sebagai bahasa kedua.<ref>{{cite web|title=Which countries are best at English as a second language?|url=https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/11/which-countries-are-best-at-english-as-a-second-language-4d24c8c8-6cf6-4067-a753-4c82b4bc865b|website=World Economic Forum|access-date=29 November 2016|archive-date=2016-11-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161125144549/https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/11/which-countries-are-best-at-english-as-a-second-language-4d24c8c8-6cf6-4067-a753-4c82b4bc865b/|dead-url=no}}</ref> English is the [[List of languages by total number of speakers|largest language by number of speakers]]. Komunitas penutur bahasa Inggris dapat ditemui di tiap benua.{{sfn|Crystal|2003b|p=106}}

Negara-negara yang menjadi tempat bahasa Inggris dituturkan dapat digolongkan menjadi tiga kategori berbeda, tergantung peran yang diambil oleh bahasa Inggris di negara tersebut. Negara "lingkar dalam" (''inner circle''){{sfn|Svartvik|Leech|2006|p=2}} yang memiliki banyak [[penutur jati]] bahasa Inggris berbagi ragam tulisan standar yang bersifat internasional dan secara kolektif mempengaruhi norma bertutur bahasa Inggris di seluruh dunia. Bahasa Inggris bukan hanya milik satu negara saja, dan bukan pula milik pemukim keturunan Inggris semata. Bahasa Inggris digunakan sebagai bahasa resmi di beberapa negara yang memiliki sedikit keturunan penutur jati bahasa Inggris. Bahasa ini juga telah menjadi bahasa terpenting dalam komunikasi internasional dengan bertindak sebagai [[lingua franca]] bagi orang-orang yang tidak berbagi bahasa ibu yang sama di seluruh dunia.

=== Tiga lingkar negara-negara penutur bahasa Inggris ===
Ahli bahasa berkebangsaan India, [[Braj Kachru]], membedakan antara negara-negara penutur bahasa Inggris dengan [[Tiga Lingkar Bahasa Inggris|model tiga lingkar]].{{sfn|Svartvik|Leech|2006|p=2}} Dalam model ini,
* negara-negara di "lingkar dalam" memiliki komunitas penutur jati bahasa Inggris yang besar;
* negara-negara di "lingkar luar" memilki komunitas penutur jati bahasa Inggris yang kecil, tetapi penggunaan bahasa Inggris yang luas sebagai bahasa kedua di bidang pendidikan, penyiaran, atau keperluan resmi setempat; dan
* negara-negara di "lingkar pengembangan", yang memiliki banyak pembelajar bahasa Inggris sebagai bahasa asing.

Kachru mendasarkan modelnya pada metode penyebaran bahasa Inggris di negara yang berbeda-beda, bagaimana cara penutur mempelajarinya, dan lingkup penggunaan bahasa Inggris di negara tersebut. Cakupan ketiga lingkar ini dapat berubah seiring waktu.{{sfn|Kachru|2006|p=196}}

[[Berkas:Kachru's three circles of English.svg|jmpl|alt=Braj Kachru's Three Circles of English|''Tiga Lingkar Bahasa Inggris'' (''Three Circles of English'') menurut Braj Kachru]]
<!--Countries with large communities of native speakers of English (the inner circle) include Britain, the United States, Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand, where the majority speaks English, and South Africa, where a significant minority speaks English. The countries with the most native English speakers are, in descending order, the [[United States]] (at least 231&nbsp;million),{{sfn|Ryan|2013|loc=Table 1}} the [[United Kingdom]] (60&nbsp;million),{{sfn|Office for National Statistics|2013|loc=Key Points}}{{sfn|National Records of Scotland|2013}}{{sfn|Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency|2012|loc=Table KS207NI: Main Language}} Canada (19&nbsp;million),{{sfn|Statistics Canada|2014}} [[Australia]] (at least 17&nbsp;million),{{sfn|Australian Bureau of Statistics|2013}} South Africa (4.8&nbsp;million),{{sfn|Statistics South Africa|2012|loc=Table 2.5 Population by first language spoken and province (number)}} [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] (4.2&nbsp;million), and New Zealand (3.7&nbsp;million).{{sfn|Statistics New Zealand|2014}} In these countries, children of native speakers learn English from their parents, and local people who speak other languages and new immigrants learn English to communicate in their neighbourhoods and workplaces.{{sfn|Bao|2006|p=377}} The inner-circle countries provide the base from which English spreads to other countries in the world.{{sfn|Kachru|2006|p=196}}

Estimates of the numbers of [[second language]] and foreign-language English speakers vary greatly from 470&nbsp;million to more than 1&nbsp;billion, depending on how proficiency is defined.{{sfn|Crystal|2003b|pp=108–109}} Linguist [[David Crystal]] estimates that non-native speakers now outnumber native speakers by a ratio of 3 to 1.{{sfn|Crystal|2003a|p=69}} In Kachru's three-circles model, the "outer circle" countries are countries such as the [[Philippines]],{{sfn|Rubino|2006}} [[Jamaica]],{{sfn|Patrick|2006a}} India, Pakistan,{{sfn|Lim|Ansaldo|2006}} [[Malaysia]] and [[Nigeria]]{{sfn|Connell|2006}}{{sfn|Schneider|2007}} with a much smaller proportion of native speakers of English but much use of English as a second language for education, government, or domestic business, and its routine use for school instruction and official interactions with the government.{{sfn|Trudgill|Hannah|2008|p=5}}

Those countries have millions of native speakers of [[dialect continuum|dialect continua]] ranging from an [[English-based creole languages|English-based creole]] to a more standard version of English. They have many more speakers of English who acquire English as they grow up through day-to-day use and listening to broadcasting, especially if they attend schools where English is the medium of instruction. Varieties of English learned by non-native speakers born to English-speaking parents may be influenced, especially in their grammar, by the other languages spoken by those learners.{{sfn|Bao|2006|p=377}} Most of those varieties of English include words little used by native speakers of English in the inner-circle countries,{{sfn|Bao|2006|p=377}} and they may show grammatical and phonological differences from inner-circle varieties as well. The standard English of the inner-circle countries is often taken as a norm for use of English in the outer-circle countries.{{sfn|Bao|2006|p=377}}

In the three-circles model, countries such as Poland, China, Brazil, Germany, Japan, Indonesia, Egypt, and other countries where English is taught as a foreign language, make up the "expanding circle".{{sfn|Trudgill|Hannah|2008|p=4}} The distinctions between English as a first language, as a second language, and as a foreign language are often debatable and may change in particular countries over time.{{sfn|Trudgill|Hannah|2008|p=5}} For example, in the [[Netherlands]] and some other countries of Europe, knowledge of English as a second language is nearly universal, with over 80 percent of the population able to use it,{{sfn|European Commission|2012}} and thus English is routinely used to communicate with foreigners and often in higher education. In these countries, although English is not used for government business, its widespread use puts them at the boundary between the "outer circle" and "expanding circle". English is unusual among world languages in how many of its users are not native speakers but speakers of English as a second or foreign language.{{sfn|Kachru|2006|p=197}}

Many users of English in the expanding circle use it to communicate with other people from the expanding circle, so that interaction with native speakers of English plays no part in their decision to use the language.{{sfn|Kachru|2006|p=198}} Non-native varieties of English are widely used for international communication, and speakers of one such variety often encounter features of other varieties.{{sfn|Bao|2006}} Very often today a conversation in English anywhere in the world may include no native speakers of English at all, even while including speakers from several different countries. This is particularly true of the shared vocabulary of the scientifical and mathematical fields of life.{{sfn|Trudgill|Hannah|2008|p=7}}

[[Fonetik]] dan [[fonologi]] bahasa Inggris berbeda dari satu dialek ke dialek yang lain, meskipun hal ini biasanya tidak mengganggu komunikasi antar penutur berbeda dialek.

<small><nowiki>*</nowiki> Lazim ditranskripsikan sebagai {{IPA|/r/}}</small>

Untuk [[konsonan hambat]] (hentian, afrikat, dan frikatif) yang berpasangan pada tabel di atas, seperti {{IPA|/p b/}}, {{IPA|/tʃ dʒ/}}, dan {{IPA|/s z/}}, fonem yang pertama bersifat [[fortis dan lenis|fortis]] (kuat), sementara yang kedua bersifat lenis (lemah). Konsonan hambat fortis seperti {{IPA|/p tʃ s/}} diucapkan dengan otot yang lebih tegang dan hembusan napas yang lebih kuat daripada konsonan lenis seperti {{IPA|/b dʒ z/}}, dan selalu bersifat [[Suara (fonetik)|nirsuara]] (diucapkan tanpa menggetarkan pita suara). Pada konsonan lenis di awal dan akhir ujaran, [[Suara (fonetik)|getaran pita suara]] dilakukan secara parsial, sementara pada konsonan lenis di antara vokal, getaran pita suara dilakukan secara penuh. Pada kebanyakan dialek, hentian fortis seperti {{IPA|/p/}} memiliki ciri artikulasi atau akustik tambahan, yaitu: 1) diucapkan dengan [[Konsonan aspirasi|aspirasi]] {{IPA|[pʰ]}} jika konsonan tersebut berdiri sendiri di awal suku kata bertekanan; 2) sering kali diucapkan tanpa aspirasi pada kasus lainnya, dan 3) sering kali diucapkan [[Konsonan hentian tak letup|tanpa letupan]] {{IPA|[p̚]}} atau dengan pra-glotalisasi {{IPA|[ʔp]}} di akhir suku kata. Pada kata yang terdiri dari satu suku kata, bunyi vokal sebelum hentian fortis dipendekkan, sehingga bunyi vokal pada kata ''nip'' 'cubit' terdengar lebih pendek (secara fonetis, bukan fonemis) daripada vokal dalam kata ''nib'' {{IPA|[nɪˑb̥]}} 'ujung yang runcing'<!--([[#Vowels|see below]])-->.{{sfn|Collins|Mees|2003|pages=47–53}} 
* hentian lenis: ''bin'' {{IPA|[b̥ɪˑn]}} 'wadah', ''about'' {{IPA|[əˈbaʊt]}} 'tentang', ''nib'' {{IPA|[nɪˑb̥]}} 'ujung yang runcing'
* hentian fortis: ''pin'' {{IPA|[pʰɪn]}} 'pin'; ''spin'' {{IPA|[spɪn]}} 'putar'; ''happy'' {{IPA|[ˈhæpi]}} 'bahagia'; ''nip'' {{IPA|[nɪp̚]}} or {{IPA|[nɪʔp]}} 'cubit'

Pada dialek RP, aproksiman lateral {{IPA|/l/}} memiliki dua [[alofon]] (variasi pengucapan) berbeda, yaitu {{IPA|[l]}} yang pengucapannya jelas atau polos, seperti pada kata ''light'' 'cahaya', serta {{IPA|[ɫ]}} yang diucapkan dengan [[velarisasi]] (lidah belakang dinaikkan sampai mendekati velum) sehingga terkesan "gelap" (''dark l''), seperti pada kata ''full'' 'penuh'.{{Sfn|Trudgill|Hannah|2008|p=13}} Dialek GA menggunakan ''l'' gelap pada kebanyakan kasus.{{Sfn|Trudgill|Hannah|2008|p=41}}
* ''l'' jelas: pengucapan RP untuk ''light'' {{IPA|[laɪt]}} 'cahaya'
* ''l'' gelap: pengucapan RP dan GA untuk ''full'' {{IPA|[fʊɫ]}} 'penuh', pengucapan GA untuk ''light'' {{IPA|[ɫaɪt]}} 'cahaya'

Semua konsonan [[sonoran]] (baik likuida {{IPA|/l, r/}} maupun sengau {{IPA|/m, n, ŋ/}}) bersifat nirsuara (diucapkan tanpa getaran pita suara) jika didahului oleh bunyi hambat nirsuara, dan bersifat silabis (diucapkan sebagai suku kata tersendiri) jika didahului oleh konsonan lain di akhir kata.{{sfn|Brinton|Brinton|2010|pages=56–59}}

=== Vokal ===
{{Main|Fonologi bahasa Inggris#Vokal}}

Pengucapan vokal-vokal dalam bahasa Inggris amat bervariasi dari satu dialek ke dialek lainnya, dan merupakan salah satu aspek yang paling mudah dideteksi untuk mengetahui logat yang digunakan oleh penuturnya. Tabel di bawah ini mendaftar [[fonem|fonem-fonem]] vokal dalam dialek ''Received Pronunciation'' (RP) dan ''General American'' (GA), dengan contoh-contoh kata yang mengandung vokal-vokal tersebut, berdasarkan [[set kosakata]] yang disusun oleh para linguis. Vokal-vokal di sini direpresentasikan dengan simbol IPA; daftar vokal RP mengikut daftar vokal standar yang biasa ditemukan dalam kamus-kamus dan publikasi lain yang berasal dari Inggris.<ref>{{cite web|last=Wells|first=John C.|date=8 February 2001|url=https://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/wells/ipa-english-uni.htm|title=IPA transcription systems for English|publisher=University College London|access-date=2021-09-16|archive-date=2018-09-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180919182345/https://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/wells/ipa-english-uni.htm|dead-url=no}}</ref>

Dalam dialek RP, panjang vokal bersifat fonemis; [[panjang vokal|vokal panjang]] ditandai dengan simbol titik dua serupa ujung panah {{IPA|[ː]}} dalam tabel di atas. Contohnya adalah vokal dalam kata ''need'' {{IPA|[niːd]}} yang berlawanan dengan vokal dalam kata ''bid'' {{IPA|[bɪd]}}. Sementara dalam dialek GA, panjang vokal tidak bersifat fonemis atau mengubah makna.

Bunyi vokal dalam dialek RP maupun GA [[pemotongan (fonetik)|dipendekkan]] jika ditutup oleh konsonan fortis (seperti {{IPA|/t tʃ f/}}) pada suku kata yang sama, tetapi tidak dipendekkan sebelum konsonan lenis seperti {{IPA|/d dʒ v/}} atau jika berada pada suku kata terbuka. Karena itu, bunyi vokal dalam kata ''rich'' {{IPA|[rɪtʃ]}}, ''neat'' {{IPA|[nit]}}, dan ''safe'' {{IPA|[seɪ̯f]}} terkesan lebih pendek daripada bunyi vokal dalam kata ''ridge'' {{IPA|[rɪˑdʒ]}}, ''need'' {{IPA|[niˑd]}}, dan ''save'' {{IPA|[seˑɪ̯v]}}, begitu pula dengan bunyi vokal dalam kata ''light'' {{IPA|[laɪ̯t]}} yang lebih pendek daripada bunyi vokal dalam kata ''lie'' {{IPA|[laˑɪ̯]}}. Karena konsonan lenis sering kali bersifat nirsuara pada akhir suku kata, panjang sebuah bunyi vokal merupakan penanda yang penting untuk mengetahui apakah konsonan yang mengikutinya bersifat lenis atau fortis.{{sfn|Collins|Mees|2003|pp=46–50}}

Vokal {{IPA|/ə/}} hanya muncul pada suku kata tanpa penekanan dan diucapkan dengan mulut yang lebih terbuka pada posisi akhir bentuk dasar/pangkal kata (''stem'').{{sfn|Cruttenden|2014|p=138}}{{sfn|Flemming|Johnson|2007}} Beberapa dialek tidak membedakan antara bunyi {{IPA|/ɪ/}} dan {{IPA|/ə/}} dalam posisi tanpa penekanan, sehingga kata ''rabbit'' 'kelinci' dan ''abbot'' 'abbas, kepala biara' berbagi rima yang serupa, sementara nama ''Lenin'' dan ''Lennon'' memiliki pengucapan yang sama ([[homofon]]). Ciri dialektal ini disebut sebagai [[penggabungan vokal lemah]] (''weak vowel merger'').{{sfn|Wells|1982|p=167}} Bunyi {{IPA|/ɜr/}} dan {{IPA|/ər/}} dalam dialek GA direalisasikan sebagai [[vokal dengan warna r|vokal dengan corak bunyi ''r'']] {{IPA|[ɚ]}}. Contohnya adalah kata ''further'' 'lebih jauh', yang secara fonemis direpresentasikan sebagai {{IPA|/ˈfɜrðər/}} tapi diucapkan sebagai {{IPA|[ˈfɚðɚ]}} dalam GA. Kata yang sama dalam RP direpresentasikan secara fonemis sebagai {{IPA|/ˈfɜːðə/}} dan direalisasikan sebagai {{IPA|[ˈfəːðə]}}.{{sfn|Wells|1982|p=121}}

=== Tekanan, ritme dan intonasi ===
<!--{{See also|Stress and vowel reduction in English|Intonation in English}}-->
[[Tekanan (linguistik)|Tekanan]] memiliki peran yang besar dalam bahasa Inggris. Dalam kata-kata bahasa Inggris, ada suku kata yang ditekan dan ada yang tidak. Tekanan yang dimaksud di sini mencakup perbedaan dalam hal durasi, intensitas, dan kualitas vokal, dan terkadang juga perubahan pada nada (''pitch''). Suku kata yang ditekan diucapkan dengan lebih panjang dan lebih nyaring daripada suku kata yang tidak ditekan. Bunyi vokal dalam suku kata tanpa tekanan sering kali mengalami [[reduksi vokal|reduksi]] sementara vokal dalam suku kata dengan tekanan tidak direduksi.{{sfn|International Phonetic Association|1999|page=42}} Beberapa kata—terutama kata tugas, tetapi juga kata kerja modal seperti ''can''—memiliki [[bentuk lemah dan kuat dalam bahasa Inggris|bentuk lemah dan kuat]] tergantung dari apakah kata tersebut muncul di posisi yang ditekan atau tidak dalam sebuah kalimat.

Tekanan dalam bahasa Inggris bersifat fonemis, dan terdapat beberapa pasang kata yang dibedakan hanya berdasarkan posisi tekanannya. Contohnya, kata ''contract'' ditekan pada suku kata pertama ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|k|ɒ|n|t|r|æ|k|t}} {{respell|KON|trakt}}) ketika digunakan sebagai nomina ('kontrak'), tetapi ditekan pada suku kata terakhir ({{IPAc-en|k|ə|n|ˈ|t|r|æ|k|t}} {{respell|kən|TRAKT|'}}) ketika digunakan sebagai verba yang dapat mencakup banyak makna (termasuk misalnya ''contract'' yang berarti 'menyusut').{{sfn|Oxford Learner's Dictionary|2015|loc=Entry "contract"}}{{sfn|Merriam Webster|2015|loc=Entry "contract"}}{{sfn|Macquarie Dictionary|2015|loc=Entry "contract"}} Di sini, tekanan berkaitan dengan reduksi vokal: pada ''contract'' yang bermakna nomina, vokal pada suku kata pertama yang ditekan diucapkan tanpa reduksi sebagai {{IPA|/ɒ/}}, tetapi pada ''contract'' yang bermakna verba, suku kata pertama tidak ditekan dan vokalnya direduksi menjadi {{IPA|/ə/}}. Tekanan juga digunakan untuk membedakan antara kata dan frasa, sehingga gabungan kata serangkai hanya diberi tekanan pada salah satu bagian, tetapi frasa dengan komponen yang sama ditekan dua kali: contohnya ''a burnout'' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|ɜːr|n|aʊ|t}}) 'kelelahan mental' versus ''to burn out'' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|b|ɜːr|n|_|ˈ|aʊ|t}}) 'membakar habis', serta ''a hotdog'' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|h|ɒ|t|d|ɒ|g}}) 'sepotong [[hotdog]]' versus ''a hot dog'' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|h|ɒ|t|_|ˈ|d|ɒ|g}}) 'seekor anjing yang panas'.{{sfn|Brinton|Brinton|2010|page=66}}

Bahasa Inggris umumnya dianggap sebagai bahasa yang ritmenya diatur oleh suku kata bertekanan (''stress-timed rhythm''); selisih waktu pengucapan antara suku kata bertekanan dalam bahasa Inggris cenderung konstan.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sentence stress |url=https://esol.britishcouncil.org/content/teachers/staff-room/teaching-articles/sentence-stress |website=ESOL Nexus |publisher=British Council |access-date=24 November 2019 |archive-date=2019-12-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191203092723/https://esol.britishcouncil.org/content/teachers/staff-room/teaching-articles/sentence-stress |dead-url=no }}</ref> Suku kata dengan tekanan diucapkan lebih panjang, sementara suku kata tanpa tekanan (yang berada di antara suku kata bertekanan) dipendekkan. Pemendekan bunyi vokal dalam suku kata tanpa tekanan menyebabkan perubahan dalam [[kualitas vokal]]; fenomena ini disebut juga dengan [[reduksi vokal]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Lunden |first1=Anya |title=Duration, vowel quality, and the rhythmic pattern of English |journal=Laboratory Phonology |volume=8 |pages=27 |doi=10.5334/labphon.37 |year=2017 |doi-access=free }}</ref>

Perbedaan paling besar dalam ragam-ragam bahasa Inggris adalah pada pengucapan bunyi vokalnya. Terdapat dua ragam utama yang digunakan sebagai ragam baku dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris di negara-negara yang penduduknya mayoritas bukan penutur bahasa tersebut, yaitu bahasa Inggris Britania (''British English'', BrE) dan bahasa Inggris Amerika (''American English'', AmE). Negara-negara seperti [[Bahasa Inggris Kanada|Kanada]], [[Bahasa Inggris Australia|Australia]], [[Bahasa Inggris Irlandia|Irlandia]], [[Bahasa Inggris Selandia Baru|Selandia Baru]] dan [[Bahasa Inggris Afrika Selatan|Afrika Selatan]] memiliki ragam baku mereka sendiri yang lebih jarang dipakai dalam pengajaran bahasa Inggris secara internasional. Beberapa perbedaan antara ragam-ragam ini dapat dilihat pada tabel "Ragam-ragam bahasa Inggris Baku dan ciri khasnya".{{sfn|Trudgill|Hannah|2002|pp=4–6}}

Sepanjang sejarahnya, bahasa Inggris telah melalui berbagai [[Sejarah fonologi bahasa Inggris|perubahan bunyi]]. Sebagian perubahan bunyi ini berlaku pada seluruh ragam bahasa Inggris, sementara sebagian yang lain hanya berlaku pada beberapa ragam saja. Ragam-ragam baku bahasa Inggris pada umumnya mengalami [[Pergeseran Vokal Besar]] (''Great Vowel Shift'') yang memengaruhi pengucapan vokal-vokal panjang, walaupun terdapat perbedaan dalam bunyi vokal yang dihasilkan oleh pergeseran ini pada sebagian kecil dialek. Di Amerika Utara, beberapa pergeseran berantai (pergeseran bunyi yang memicu pergeseran lainnya) seperti [[Pergeseran Vokal Kota-Kota Utara]] (''Northern Cities Vowel Shift'') dan [[Pergeseran Kanada]] (''Canadian Shift'') menghasilkan bentang vokal yang amat khas pada sebagian logat daerah.{{sfnm|Lass|1992|1pp=90,118,610|Lass|2000|2pp=80,656}}

Beberapa dialek memiliki bunyi konsonan fonemis dan fonetis yang lebih banyak atau lebih sedikit dari jumlah bunyi dalam ragam-ragam baku. Sebagian ragam konservatif seperti bahasa Inggris Skotlandia menggunakan bunyi [[suara (fonetik)|nirsuara]] {{IPAblink|ʍ}} dalam kata ''whine'' 'mengeluh', kontras dengan bunyi {{IPA|[w]}} dalam kata ''wine'' '(minuman) anggur' yang menggunakan getaran pita suara. Sementara itu, kebanyakan dialek lainnya menggunakan {{IPA|[w]}} dalam kedua kondisi; ciri ini disebut juga sebagai [[Merger konsonan wine–whine merger|merger konsonan ''wine''–''whine'']]. Bunyi frikatif velar nirsuara {{IPA|/x/}} dapat ditemukan dalam bahasa Inggris Skotlandia, yang membedakan antara pengucapan kata ''loch'' {{IPA|/lɔx/}} 'danau' dengan kata ''lock'' {{IPA|/lɔk/}} 'mengunci, gembok'. Logat seperti [[Cockney]] yang mengalami fenomena "penghapusan ''h''" (''h-dropping'') tidak memiliki bunyi frikatif glotal {{IPA|/h/}}, dan logat yang mengalami "penghentian ''th''" (''th-stopping'') dan "pengedepanan ''th''" (''th-fronting'') seperti [[bahasa Inggris Afrika-Amerika|dialek Afrika-Amerika]] dan [[Inggris Estuari]] tidak memiliki frikatif dental {{IPA|/θ, ð/}}, tetapi menggantinya dengan hentian dental/alveolar {{IPA|/t, d/}} atau frikatif labiodental {{IPA|/f, v/}}.{{sfn|Roach|2009|p=53}}{{sfn|Giegerich|1992|page=36}} Perubahan lain yang memengaruhi fonologi ragam-ragam tempatan di antaranya adalah penghapusan ''yod'' (penghapusan bunyi {{IPA|/j/}} dalam beberapa kondisi), peleburan ''yod'' (peleburan bunyi {{IPA|/j/}} yang membentuk kluster dengan konsonan lain menjadi bunyi sibilan), dan pemupusan kluster konsonan.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wells |first1=John |title=Accents of English |url=https://archive.org/details/accentsofenglish0000well |date=1982 |isbn=0-521-28540-2}}</ref>

Dialek GA dan RP berbeda dalam hal pengucapan bunyi historis {{IPA|/r/}} yang menutup vokal di akhir suku kata. Dialek GA merupakan [[Logat rhotis dan non-rhotis|ragam rhotis]], yaitu ragam bahasa Inggris yang merealisasikan bunyi {{IPA|/r/}} di akhir suku kata, sementara dialek RP yang bersifat non-rhotis menghilangkan bunyi {{IPA|/r/}} di posisi tersebut. Dialek-dialek bahasa Inggris dapat digolongkan sebagai ragam rhotis dan non-rhotis tergantung apakah dialek tersebut menghilangkan bunyi {{IPA|/r/}} seperti dialek RP atau melestarikan bunyi tersebut seperti dialek GA.{{sfn|Lass|2000|p=114}}

Terdapat perbedaan dialektal yang kompleks dalam kosakata yang memiliki bunyi vokal terbuka depan dan vokal terbuka belakang {{IPA|/æ ɑː ɒ ɔː/}}. Keempat bunyi vokal ini hanya dibedakan dalam dialek RP, Australia, Selandia Baru, dan Afrika Selatan. Dalam dialek GA, vokal-vokal ini melebur menjadi {{IPA|/æ ɑ ɔ/}},{{sfn|Wells|1982|pages=xviii–xix}} sementara dalam dialek Kanada, kesemuanya melebur menjadi dua bunyi saja: {{IPA|/æ ɑ/}}.{{sfn|Wells|1982|page=493}} Selain itu, kosakata yang mengandung vokal-vokal tersebut dapat berbeda-beda tergantung dialeknya. Tabel "Vokal terbuka dalam beberapa dialek" menunjukkan keragaman ini dalam beberapa kosakata yang mengandung bunyi-bunyi vokal tersebut.

== Tata bahasa ==

[[Tata bahasa]] Inggris memiliki variasi dalam struktur dan penggunaannya, itu tergantung tradisi yang digunakan oleh suatu negara yang dipengaruhi oleh bahasa asli dari negara tersebut. Secara umum, tata bahasa yang dipedomani adalah tata bahasa Inggris Amerika (''American English'') dan Inggris Britania Raya ''(British English)''.

=== Sistem kala ===
Bahasa Inggris umumnya dikenal memiliki empat bentuk [[Kala (linguistik)|kala]] yakni:
* [[Kala lampau]] (''Past tense'')
* [[Kala kini]] (''Present tense'')
* [[Kala mendatang]] (''Future tense'')
* Kala mendatang di masa lampau (''Past future tense'')
Namun, kala yang sejati dalam bahasa Inggris hanya ''kala lampau'' dan ''kala kini'' (taklampau) karena dua kala lainnya hanya berupa kata dasar ditambah verba bantu.

Untuk menunjukkan perbedaan aspek gramatikal lebih lanjut, masing-masing kala memiliki "empat bagian" yakni:
* ''Simple'' (umumnya menunjukkan aspek habitual, frekuentatif, atau momentan tergantung adverbia yang ada)
* ''Continuous/Progressive'' (aspek kontinuatif atau progresif)
* ''Perfect'' (aspek perfektif)
* ''Perfect Continuous/Progressive'' (aspek imperfektif)
