World language
Many people say that English is a global language. Why do they think so? English is not an easy language to learn, even as a mother tongue. Why has it become a global language?
People have always thought that they need a global language if they want to speak and understand each other. They even tried to develop special simple languages. One of them is Esperanto, a simple language, with just 16 rules, no definite articles and easy spelling. But Esperanto didn’t become a world language.
Global, or world, language is a language that people speak and learn in a lot of countries. It’s the mother tongue for many people, many countries teach them at schools. Diplomats, scientists and businessmen often use it. You can hear it at international meetings and at airports.
English has more speakers than any other languages in the world. But some other languages are also very popular. For example, French is the traditional language of diplomats, German is the language of science. But English is really a global language. It is the most important language of the Internet: about 80 per cent of all information there is in English. Many languages borrow words from the English language.
What makes English a global language? History shows that a language becomes global because of the political and economic power of its speakers. Other facts are important too. English has a very large vocabulary. Besides, it is easy to make new English words (speech – speechless, feel – feeling, sound – to sound). Its grammar is simpler than in some other languages. English poets and writers made the English language world famous.
So English is really a global language. But there is one very important question. If so many people want to use English as the global language, what will happen to other languages? Will they die?
