Over the past 600 years English has evolved from a language of few speakers to the dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged around 1350, after having combined 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 expanded even as far as Wales. Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries. English began missionary work. Thus, small enclaves or English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these communities expanded, English gradually became the primary language of international business, banking, and diplomacy.
Currently, about 80% of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is in English: Two- thirds of the world’s science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising, media, international airport, and air traffic controllers. Today, there are more than 700 million English users in the world and over half of these are non-native speakers, forming the largest number of non-native users than any other language in the world.
