What is a non-standard English?

"Standard English" is the literary dialect used in formal writing and in the speech of well educated persons. It descends from the West Saxon dialect of Old English, specifically the dialect of London. "Non-standard English" includes many regional dialects, whose grammatical forms and words ( such as ain't and varmint, for example) are not exactly incorrect but are unsuited to formal discourse; and the non-regional dialect known as Black English ( or Ebonics ) which has a prominent substrate of African grammar. There is another literary dialect called Scots ( or Lallands or Doric ) which is considered non-standard because descends from the Anglic dialect of Old English, not the Saxon.

Use of word being in english grammar?

Yes. Being can serve as a noun, as the present participle of "be," as an adjective, and as a conjunction. Note, however, that when it serves as a conjunction (meaning "because" or "since), many educated people, perhaps most, consider it to be dialectical and objectionable. [Such constructions as "Being we were late, we missed the meeting" and "Being that it was you, I answered the phone" are often condemned as being unsuitable for use in standard English.]
