Over the past 600 years, English has grown from a language of few speakers to become
the dominant language of international communication. English as we know it today emerged 
around 1350, after having incorporated many elements of French that was introduced
following the Norman invasion of 1066. Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part,
spoken only in England and has not extended even as far as Wales, Scotland or Ireland.
However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the
globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary
work. Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts
of the world. As these communities proliferated, 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 airports, 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, constituting the largest number of non-native users than any language in
the world.

A. The number of non-native users of English.
B. The French influence on the English language.

C. The expansion of English as an international language.
D. The use English for science and technology.
