This study first establishes the discriminatroy and elitist nature
of standard languages and standardisation itself, considering as
counter-example the case of Sri Lankan English as symptomatic of
the 'other' or postcolonial Englishes. On the basis of this
understanding of the standard, while at the same time, accepting
the necessity of standards, however attenuated, the writer argues
for the active broadening of the standard to include the greatest
variety possible - privileging 'meaning' over other rules - and
holds that this would in fact work towards extending the bounds of
linguistic tolerance.
