Introduction
Why has English become a global language?


Introduction
With more than 350 million people around the
world speaking English as a first language and
more than 430 million speaking it as a second
language, there are English speakers in most
countries around the world.

The Spread of English

1763

Late 18th century

The settler population of
Jamaica (from Britain, Ireland
and the Americas) was 7,000.

When Canada became a
British possession, it had
almost no English-speaking
settlers.

The British Empire had spread
English through its colonies
and geopolitical dominance.


English was adopted in
parts of North America,
parts of Africa, Australasia,
and many other regions.


British (later US) trading and
colonialism also brought English to
other areas where there were no large
settlements of native English
speakers.

The 3 Circles

First-language
speakers: 375 million
Second-language
speakers: 375 million
Foreign-language
speakers: 750 million

The fact that English is now an influential world language is not in
any way due to its superiority as a language but is a result of the
activities of its speakers over the centuries.


Modern English

1828

Samuel Johnson published his A

Dictionary of the English Language,
which introduced standard spellings
of words and usage norms.

Noah Webster published the American
Dictionary of the English language to
try to establish a norm for speaking
and writing American English that was
independent of the British standard.


Conclusions

Today, English constitutes the most widely used language of
our time. From a regional language that was by large
influenced by many other languages, it has developed to the
world’s number-one communication system, if you wish a
global lingua franca, and the influence on other languages is
omnipresent.
