This paper focuses on the topic regarding the process of language standardization. The standardization process is an important field of sociolinguistics and it is highly researched due to the different factors affecting standard language of a country. Is involves information about codification itself, and explains how a non-standard variety becomes a standard language. The second part of this paper focuses on the importance of Standard English and how it is used as a global language. There is a detailed description and examples which show us the differences between standard and non-standard English language.While looking at the chronological order of developments of English language, at the last page, we can conclude that in the period of approximately 500 years there have been extreme changes in language (syntax, morphology and phonology).
