UK and US English အဂၤလိပ္

ဆရာ ပိုစ့္နဲ႔ေတာ့သိပ္မဆိုင္ပါ။ သိခ်င္တာေလး ေမးပါရေစ။ Color, Colour, Center, Centre ဘယ္စကားလုံး British လဲ။ ဘယ္စကားလုံး American လဲဆရာ။ ေက်းဇူးပါ။

အေမရိကန္နဲ႔ ျဗိတိန္တို႔ဟာ ႏိုင္ငံႏွစ္ခု၊ ဘာသာစကားတခုတည္းလို႔ ေျပာစမွတ္ရွိတယ္။ အဂၤလိပ္စကားမွာ မတူတာေတြေတာ့ရွိတယ္။ အမ်ားၾကီးေတာ့ မဟုတ္ပါ။
