Why English is a Global Language

English is considered a global language because it is spoken and understood at an international


level by a wide variety of people. Globally, English has the most speakers who speak English either
as a first or second language.
We can see a strong link between dominance and cultural power in languages. English, as a
language, became famous because of its powerful base, whether political, economic or military.
English language derivation occurred from German, Latin, and other European languages. Due to
this, Europeans don’t consider English a complex language to learn. Also, according to linguists,
English became a global language due to its simplicity.
English script in Latin appears less complicated to learn and recognise for people. Also, like other
languages such as Turkish or Korean, English pronunciation is not so complex and easy to
understand.
Generally, if we observe closely, the difficulty level of a particular language varies from person to
person. It also depends on the culture the individual belongs to. For example, A person from Korea
will find the Japanese language less complicated than a Britisher because of the similarities between
Korean and Japanese cultures.
The language, English, should not be alien or unknown to any community. Learning English was not
a big deal during British rule, as most people from different cultures became familiar with the
language.
