First English version:

English is a West Germanic language, which first appeared in England in the early Middle Ages and is now a global language. [4][5] It is the official language of nearly 60 sovereign countries, the most commonly used language in Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, and also widely used in Caribbean, African and South Asian countries. [6] It is the third most commonly used mother tongue in the world, second only to Mandarin and Spanish. [7] English is the most widely studied second language, and it is also the official language of the United Nations, the European Union and many other world and regional international organizations.

English has developed 1400 years. The earliest form of English, that is, a set of Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the fifth century, is called Old English. Medieval English began in the late 1 1 century, accompanied by the Norman conquest of England. [8] Early modern English began in the late15th century, accompanied by the introduction of printing into London, the King James version of the Bible and the great shift of vowels. [9] Through the worldwide influence of the British Empire, modern English spread all over the world from the 7th century to the middle of the 20th century. Through all kinds of print and electronic media, and the rise of the United States as a global superpower, English has become the dominant language of international discourse and the common language in many regions and professional fields such as science, navigation and law. [ 10]

Compared with many other languages, modern English has almost no inflections, and relies on auxiliary verbs and word order to express complex tenses, aspects and moods, as well as passive structures, interrogative sentences and some negatives. Although there are significant differences in English accents and dialects used in different countries and regions-in pronunciation and phonology, and sometimes in vocabulary, grammar and spelling-English users from all over the world can communicate effectively with each other.

English, belonging to the West Germanic branch of the Germanic family of Indo-European languages, evolved from the languages spoken by Germanic people of Anglo-Saxon and Jute tribes who immigrated to the British Isles from Scandinavia, Germany, the Netherlands and surrounding areas, and spread to all parts of the world through active British colonization. Due to the contact with many national languages in history, its vocabulary has changed from monism to pluralism, its grammar has changed from "more inflections" to "less inflections", and its pronunciation has changed regularly. According to the number of native English speakers, English is the official language of the most used countries in the world, the most widely used second language in the world, and the official language of the European Union, the most international organizations and Commonwealth countries. The number of native English speakers ranks third in the world, only after Chinese and Spanish. 19 From the 20th century, Britain and the United States took the lead in culture, economy, military affairs, politics and science, making English an international language. Nowadays, English is used as a medium of communication in many international situations. English is also the language most closely related to computers. Most programming languages are related to English. With the use of the Internet, English is more widely used. English is one of the working languages of the United Nations. Some people think Scottish is the closest independent language to English, while others think it is a dialect of English. The closest thing to old English is ancient Frisian, which is still used in northern Germany and Frisian province in the Netherlands. Scottish, low Saxon, Danish, German, Dutch, Afrikaans and English are also very close. Norman French with Danish descent conquered the kingdom of England in the 1 1 century, bringing tens of thousands of French and Latin words, which greatly enriched English vocabulary and led to the invalidation of many native Germanic words.
