English is deeply entrenched in the diverse linguistic landscapes of Southeast Asia and the ASEAN region, playing a significant role in its various regional Southeast Asian and political ASEAN language habitats. This comprehensive book delves into the historical, developmental stages, and interactions with other languages, offering in-depth insights into the region and its political organization. By examining the geo-political division between former Anglophone and non-Anglophone colonies, the book highlights the profound differences in the status and texture of English across the region. It explores the role and impact of American English in mainland and maritime Southeast Asia, shedding light on the linguistic properties and sociopolitical development of English. The analysis also encompasses specific domains where English is employed, language policies, and concludes with a discussion of the future of English and the challenges it faces. This book serves as an invaluable resource for scholars and students in the fields of World Englishes, Asian Studies, and language contact, policy, and planning. It provides an integrative survey of the various roles of English in ASEAN member states and explores the transformative processes that shape entire language habitats, encompassing major national and regional languages that actively participate in this dynamic landscape. Furthermore, it sheds light on the emergence of new societies with their distinct identities and regional or global aspirations, making it a crucial reference for understanding the complex dynamics of language use and its implications in the region.
