in the 16th century the people who lived in europe didn't know eng- lish. they couldn't understand english words. only those who lived on the british isles spoke english. in those years latin, french, german and italian were popular on the continent. four hundred years later the speakers of english travelled to different places on the planet and carried their language and culture with them today english is more important than any other language has ever been. it has become the language of the planet, the first truly global language. of all the world's languages it is probably the richest in its vocabulary. it has borrowed a lot of words from french and latin, from greek, spanish, italian, and even russian. now english is the language of sci- ence, business, and sport. people use english the first language or mother tongue in the english-speaking countries. it has become the sec- ond language in countries like india, nigeria [nar dgiaria], and singapore [sina po: ]. then there is english as a foreign language. people teach and learn english as a foreign language in europe and asia, in africa and south america, in other words, all over the world.​
