    English language

    English is a West Germanic language originating in England, and the first language
    for most people in Australia, Canada, the Commonwealth Caribbean, Ireland, New
    Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States of America (also commonly
    known as the Anglosphere). It is used extensively as a second language and as an
    official language throughout the world, especially in Commonwealth countries such
    as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and South Africa, and in many international
    organisations.

    Modern English is sometimes described as the global lingua franca. English is the
    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 of the language far beyond the British Isles.
    Following World War II, the growing economic and cultural influence of the
    United States has significantly accelerated the spread of the language. On an
    average school day approximately one billion people are learning English in one
    form or another.

    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.
