Standar language is variety of a llanguage that deprived of any deviances in phonology, garmmar and so forth. However, Does the use of the standard language can be really observable in everday society, or maybe it is merely the myth that we all speak correctly ?

  • Uh, I think generally speech is more standardized now than it has been through the history. I'd guess that would mean when people from different areas of a country or a language continuum meet, they generally get closer to the language found in TV and Newspapers to make themselves understood.
  • Obviously this depends on the language and the respective government policy. For example, the Finnish standard language is virtually the only language written or spoken on TV. There are no newscasters who would speak a dialect in the news. --Vuo 01:37, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
