of the questions that follow from 41 to 45.
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 had 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.
