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 were 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 percent 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 other language in the world.
