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 1930,
after having incorporated many elements of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion
of 1066. Until the 16oos, 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 per cent 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 nonnative speakers, constituting the largest
number of nonnative users than any other language in the world.
