Question

“IS ENGLISH REALLY A GLOBAL LANGUAGE?”

Modern English is sometimes described as the first global “língua franca”. English is a

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. Since world war II, the growing economic and cultural influence of the

United States has significantly accelerated the adoption of English.

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.
