The vocabularies of Australian and New Zealand English are very similar. Both include words taken from the hundreds of languages that existed in these countries before the time of the European settlers. Examples are Alcheringa and haka, or indeed the Maori name for New Zealand itself (Aotearoa). This is being used increasingly in international contexts. The translation is “the land of the long white cloud”.
Canadian English has been influenced by both British English and American English. In Canada both British and American spellings are used.

3，非洲英语
（English in Africa）
English is today the African continent’s single most widely used language. several different varieties have developed in the different regions of the continent. These include East African English and West African English. Each of these has its own characteristic vocabulary, which includes words of customs, food, etc.
English has long been an important spoken and written language in South Asia, both in its own right and as mixed with Hindi, Urdu and other languages. The regional standard is often called Indian English, but many items are commonly used in the other countries of the subcontinent.
Of course, many words of South Asian origin form part of standard British English. These have become familiar because of the influence of the large number of people of Asian origin in Britain.
Although no standard variety of English has emerged from this region, English is very important as a language of communication in countries such as Malaysia. In Singapore it is one of the four official languages. Word from this area include the names of some local products, for example tropical fruits (mangosteen), and there are also distinctive uses of English words (shoplot).
