Language is a systematic means of communication ideas or feelings.

Language is one of the most important aspects of culture.

English is part of the Germanic branch of the Indo-European family of languages. It is spoken as a native language by around 377 million and as a second language by around 375 million speakers in the world. English has an official or a special status in 75 countries with a total population of over 2 billion.

English is the language of diplomacy and international communications, business, tourism, education, science, computer technology, media and Internet.

The English language came to British Isles from northern Europe in the fifth century. From the fifteenth century, the British began to sail all over the world. They took the English language to North America, Canada and the Caribbean, to South Africa, to Australia and New Zealand, to South Asia (especially India), to the British colonies in Africa, to South East Asia and the South Pacific.
