I was reading the magazine of World Englishes. There stated the variation of English in various places like Africa etc.

I just wonder Esperanto does accept this kind of variation which i felt irritated. If there is a change, why it is still called English.

I hope Esperanto would not have that kind of variation but accent would be fine as i watched the youtube short films and i could understand the north,south, east, west esperantists talking about it.

Among the Esperantists there is a tradition (which goes back a long way) of policing the language, precisely to prevent it breaking up into dialects.

In addition, there are standardizing influences which come from the fact that the language is used internationally.

In my experience, the main differences in usage among Esperanto speakers are to be found in the language used by beginners and that used by experienced speakers.

I think the closest thing Esperanto has to a dialect is Ido, but the speakers of that language tend to assert that Esperanto and Ido are two different languages, not dialects of one another.

Sociolects, subculturolects (I dunno if that's a valid word), but no proper dialects. Ido's a bit too diverged to be called a dialect since its core vocabulary is the one left most changed.

Thanks, in summary, I can say that Esperanto has the least variations. I need the info to let my friends know as they have seen many versions of English in the word programmes too.
