Importance of British and American English among Pakistani Graduates: A Retrospective Study

In recent times, Pakistani journalistic English has a propensity to become more American. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the mounting impact of American English and British English on the Pakistani newspapers. The most influential and strong selection of English is American English. The effect of American English on newspaper writing indicates that Pakistani English speakers tend to prefer American English, particularly in the lexical and grammatical levels instead of British English. The findings show that the use of US English is growing rapidly in Pakistan's English newspapers. Although in Pakistani newspapers, British English is preferred, the quantitative results of the study show that the traces of American English are very simple and visible. In earlier research, Pakistani English was examined at different levels into the disparity between Pakistan and British English. The trending of the newspaper inclined toward the American English predominantly. In Pakistani English this is a less investigated area, and this study is intended to fill the void.
