Abstract
The main purpose of this research is to investigate the current English in Canada and predict the future of English there. To attain this goal, I would like to investigate and analyze the current English used in Canada by comparing the English that young people use with the English usage of older generations. Based on my findings, I would like to focus on three aspects of English in Canada (more specifically, English in Ontario): phonology, vocabulary, and spelling. This research was mainly conducted in the summer of 2006 in Toronto and Niagara Falls, which I believe are areas that have been influenced the most by American English. The research statistics are based on a questionnaire given to 102 Canadians.
As I investigated the three sections, I came to the following conclusion: there are many characteristics which do not belong to either American English or British English, but are part of Canadian English.
