All languages have rules for forming words and for ordering those words in

system of sounds and rules for combining those sounds. Word order is more important in
English than it is in some languages such as Russian.
Like other languages, English is always changing but it changes very slowly.
People invent new words, borrow words from other languages and change the meaning of
words as needed. For example, the English word byte was invented by computer
specialists in 1959. The word tomato was borrowed from Nahuatl, an American Indian
language spoken in Mexico.
