What is the meaning of nonstandard English?

Standard English is the literary dialect that is taught in
school. It comes from the Saxon part of Anglo-Saxon, or Old
English. Nonstandard English is any of the many and various
regional dialects, and also many popular but "incorrect" words and
forms, for example the use of "dove" in place of "dived as the past
tense of "dive."
"Nonstandard" is also used disparagingly and erroneously to
describe the Scots dialect, which is the modern form of Anglic (the
Anglo- part of Anglo-Saxon), and thus has a better historical claim
to the name "Standard English" than English does!
