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.
