Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become the
dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged
around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following
the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in
England and had not extended even as far as two centuries, English began to spread around the
globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work.

English. Two - thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main
language of technology, advertising, media, international airports, and air traffic controllers -
