    English

    English is so widely spoken; it has often been referred to as a "world language", the lingua franca of the modern era.

     

    English is a West Germanic language that originated in Anglo-Saxon England. As a result of the military, economic, scientific, political and cultural influence of the British Empire during the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries and of the United States since the late 19th century, it has become the most important language in many parts of the world.

     

     It is used extensively as a second language and as an official language in Commonwealth countries and many international organizations, where it is often the preferred language.
