Is “Englishes” an acceptable plural form of English?
In studying linguistics, I learned that the different varieties of English could be called “Englishes.” These varieties include the traditional varieties (e.g. British English, American English, Canadian English, Australian English) and the “new” varieties (e.g. Philippine English, Indian English, Singaporean English, Nigerian English, etc.) My question, then, is: Is “Englishes” now an acceptable word in plural form which refers to the so-called varieties of English?
