ENGLISH LANGUAGE
English is a West Germanic language originating in England,
and
the first language for most people in Australia, Canada, the
Commonwealth Caribbean, Ireland, New Zealand, the United
Kingdom
and the United States of America (also commonly known as the
Anglosphere). It is used extensively as a second language and as
an
official language throughout the world, especially in
Commonwealth
countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and South Africa,
and in
many international organisations.
Modern English is sometimes described as the global lingua
franca.
English is the dominant international language in
communications,
science, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy.
The
influence of the British Empire is the primary reason for the
initial spread
of the language far beyond the British Isles. Following World
War II, the
growing economic and cultural influence of the United States
has
significantly accelerated the spread of the language. On an
average
school day approximately one billion people are learning English
in one
form or another.
A working knowledge of English is required in certain
fields,
professions, and occupations. As a result over a billion people
speak
English at least at a basic level. English is one of six
official languages of
the United Nations.
