The Emergence of English

The emergence of Britain appeared in the 5th century after Anglos, Saxons, Jutes, Frisians invaded Britannia in the 4th century. At that time it was known as Old English, but this language has undergone several transformations and is now known as English. Today, more than 750 million people use English as language, at least half of which use English as their mother tongue (McCrum et al., 2002, pp. 9 - 10). Many people rely on English to provide economic and social services to them (Crystal, 2003, pg.

As the evolution of English and the emergence of "world English" made the world more familiar and the connection between people of different languages ​​and cultures increased, English became a tool for communication and became a common language of English. Today's global societal English role can be traced back to a unique evolutionary history that should be understood at two different levels. The first level of evolution experienced in English is the nature of the language itself.

As the fastest growing language in human history, English has become a universal language in the past few decades - a common language. Today, 75 billion people use English. This is a quarter of the world's population. This number will only continue to increase. By 2020, the British Council predicts that 2 billion people will speak English or learn English. In today's Connected World, English has the potential to create opportunities, expand employment opportunities, and broaden our horizons. Beginning with the words of the international trade of the British Empire and the prosperity of the American economy after the war, English has caused waves of globalization, urbanization, technology as well as other languages ​​of the past.
