What is English?

The history of the English language really started with the arrival of three Germanic tribes who invaded Britain during the 5th century AD. These tribes, the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes, crossed the North Sea from what today is Denmark and northern Germany. At that time the inhabitants of Britain spoke a Celtic language. But most of the Celtic speakers were pushed west and north. The Angles came from England and their language was called Englisc - from which the words England and English are derived. In 1066 William the Conqueror, the Duke of Normandy (part of modern France), invaded and conquered England. The new conquerors (called the Normans) brought with them a kind of French. In the 14th century English became dominant in Britain again, but with many French words added.

English is more multicultural than any other language. For centuries, it has taken words from other languages, and today’s international communication means that new words are appearing every day. In fact, English contains words from more than 350 other languages! “Goulash” from Hungarian, “algebra” from Arabic and “safari” from Swahili are just a few. Sometimes  English even takes whole phrases. We use “la dolce vita” from Italian, and “c’est la vie” from French, we even have “fengshui” from Chinese!In many countries, like India or Africa, there are hundreds of local dialects (different ways of speaking the same language). These countries often use English as a common language, and each country creates its own words. As a result new variations of English are born. In West Africa for Example, traffic jams are called “go-slows”, clothes are called “wears”, and hairdressers are known as “barbing saloons”!

International Communication has also created specialized English, such as Aviation English, and even text message English for mobile phones! New words, such as “email” and “homepage” are added to the language when they are needed. Wait, what?Places like social media, comments sections and online forums, for example, use English that might seem completely new to you. You’ll often find strange phrases, abbreviations and words like that on the Internet. That’s because talking on the Internet can be very different from talking in person or even in emails. Online English is casual and personal, and uses a lot of slang. Since so much of our communication today happens online, the Internet has developed almost its own language. This language is even more casual and has many abbreviations (shortenings of words and phrases).At this point, the Internet is likely the most prevalent influence on our day-to-day dialogue. What all this means is that English doesn’t just belong to the English, but to all the people, professions and cultures who influence and change it. Today English is a truly global language … because it belongs to everyone!
