THE ORIGIN OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Do you know where the English Language comes from?
The history of English begins a little after A.D. 600. The language of the ancestors was a part of Germanic branch of Indo-European Family. The people talking this language spread to the northern coast of Europe in the time of Roman Empire. Among this people the tribes called Angels, Saxons, Jutes which is calledAnglo-Saxons came to England. These Germanic dialects eventually formed what is called Old English. Latin affected the language with the merchants traveling the tribes.
Many important changes took place between 1.100-1.200 in the structure of Old English. The Norman Conquest of England profoundly influenced the evolution of the language. This influence gave rise to what is now referred to as MiddleEnglish.
During the 15th century, Middle English was transformed by the Great Vowel Shift. This change and the invention of printing that was introduced to England by William Caxton in 1745 produced the basic differences between Middle English and Modern English.
After this, books became cheaper and cheaper, more people learned to read and write and advanced in communication. The greatest writerof the Early Modern English period is William Shakespeare, and the best known book is the King Jones version of the BIBLE.
English is the first language for most people in Australia Canada, the Caribbean Commonwealth, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and the dominant international language in communications, science, business, aviation, entertainment,radio and diplomacy.
A working knowledge of English is required in certain fields, professions and occupations. As a result over a billion people speak English at least basic level. English is one of the six official languages in the United Nations. Over 309 million people speak English as their first language.

One of those nations where English is spoken as a second language is India. It has more people who speaks or understands English than any other country in the world. Following India is the People’s Republic of China.

It is, by international treaty, the official language for aerial and maritime communications, as well as one of the official languages of the European Union, the United Nations, and most international athletic organizations, including the International Olympic Committee.
