The English Language
English is spoken practically all over the world. It is spoken as the mother tongue in Great Britain, the United States of America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. A lot of people speak English in China, Japan, India, Africa and other countries. It is one of 6 official languages of the United Nations. It is studied as a foreign language in many schools.
England’s history helps to understand the present condition of English. Many English words were borrowed from the language of Angles and Saxons. Hundreds of French words came into English. These French words didn’t crowd out corresponding Anglo-Saxon words. There exist “act” and “deed”, ”beautiful” and “pretty”, “form” and “shape” .
Many new words were brought by traders and travellers . These words came from all parts of the world: ”umbrella”- from Italian, ”skates”-from Datch, “tea” – from Chinese, “cigar”- from Spanish.
Some of the English words of today are derivaties. One way of creating new words is to put together two or more older English words.
