The English language is the most widely spoken language in the world. It is used as either a primary

or secondary language in many countries.

During the 1500's, fewer than 2 million people spoke English. All of them lived in what is now

the United Kingdom. Through the centuries, as the result of various historical events, English spread

throughout the world. Today, about 400 million people speak English as their native language. Most

of them live in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, South Africa, and the

United States.

Another 100 million people, chiefly living in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and in many African

countries, speak English in addition to their own language. An additional 200 million people probably

know at least some English.

Today, English is the international language of science and technology. In addition, the English

language is used throughout the world in business and diplomacy.
