The English language, like all languages, is in a state of constant evolution. In the present internet age, and with English being spoken by more than a billion people (including non-native speakers), it is likely that the English language will continue to evolve at a faster rate than ever. More concretely though, it is likely to further develop into different "types" of English, with more localised forms such as "Singlish" (Singaporean English). Singlish and other localised versions of English that mix English with local language(s)will likely gradually become more linguistically different than the English spoken United States and the United Kingdom. Meanwhile, the English spoken in the USA and UK will also continue to develop, perhaps with British English becoming more like American English, and the UK's regional dialects continuing their decline.
