British English is a collective term for the forms of English spoken in the British Isles. When used by British speakers, it often refers to the written Standard English and the pronunciation known as Received Pronunciation . The term is often used to distinguish it from American English. The people who live in the British Isles do not use the term often, although they do refer to Scottish English, Welsh English and Irish English, and dialects thereof. According to Tom McArthur in the Oxford Guide to World English, the phrase British English shares "all the ambiguities and tensions in the word British, and as a result can be used and interpreted in two ways, more broadly or more narrowly, within a range of blurring and ambiguity."
