Standard American English is a phrase used to refer to what is considered characteristic of mainstream speakers of American English. All English-speaking nations are considered to have their own standard dialects, so it is customary to use the terms American English, South African English, British English (Queen's English) and so on, to refer to various national standard dialects. The concept of a standard dialect is strongly associated with the educational level of the speaker. Individuals with considerable formal education tend to speak the standard dialect of the nation in which they live.
