The English
Language
www.interactive-english.ru
English is a West Germanic language that was
first spoken in early medieval England and is
now a global lingua franca.
Introduction
It is spoken as a first language by the majority populations of
several sovereign states, including the United Kingdom,
the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and
a number of Caribbean nations; and it is an official
language of almost 60 sovereign states.
As a First Language
English is the third-most-common native
language in the world, after Mandarin
Chinese and Spanish.

It is widely learned as a second language and is
an official language of the European Union,
many Commonwealth countries and the United
Nations, as well as in many world
organisations.
English as a Second Language
Historically, English originated from the fusion of
closely related dialects, now collectively termed Old
English, which were brought to the eastern coast of
Great Britain by Germanic settlers (Anglo-Saxons) by
the 5th century.
History
The word English is derived from the name of
the Angles, and ultimately from their ancestral
region of Angeln(in what is now Schleswig-
Holstein).
History
The language was also influenced early on by
the Old Norse language through Viking
invasions in the 9th and 10th centuries.
History
Native Speakers
L1: 430 million people speak English as their first language (2013)
L2: 950 million people speak English as their second language (2013)

English as a global language
Because English is so widely spoken, it has often
been referred to as a "world language", the lingua
franca of the modern era, and while it is not an
official language in most countries, it is currently the
language most often taught as a foreign language.
www.interactive-english.ru
English as a global language
English is studied most often in the European Union, and the
perception of the usefulness of foreign languages among
Europeans is 67% in favour of English ahead of 17% for
German and 16% for French (as of 2012).
