After the year 1600, the British Empire began to spread English
around the world. That process was given a huge boost in the 20th century
through the business, technology and post-war reconstruction effects 1
of the US. Beyond this, there were a number of quite extraordinary
ends in culture, science and the arts that were reinforced these developments. 2
Many of these were spontaneous, but others were high deliberate—the 3
work of the British Council, for example. Either way, English now
stands challenged as the world"s international language. 4
But the English language also has some inherent qualities that
enabled this process even far. English is a "mongrel language" 5
that has always borrowed heavily from the other languages. This has
allowed to grow quickly, flexibly, and efficiently. It has developed 6
spontaneously without an Academic Francaise to restrict it, for example, so 7
it has intended towards a simplification—from a more highly inflected 8
language towards becoming a less highly inflected one.
Therefore, almost every educated person in the entire world knows 9
some English. Very few people anywhere would not consider it essential 10
part of an education in science, art, business, etc. There"s a pretty clear
dynamic at work here.
