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.
