What is English Language
Language allows Homo-sapiens the ability to acquire and use complex systems of communication. The scientific study of language is called linguistics which is the study of language and its structure including the study of morphology, syntax, phonetics, and semantics.
Language evolves and diversity over time, and the history of their evolution can be reconstructed by comparing modern languages to determine which traits their ancestral language must have had in order for the later developmental stages to occur.
English is an Indo-European language, and belongs to the West Germanic group of Germanic languages and Frisian form the Anglo-Frisian subgroup within the West Germanic language family. The perspective of this 21st century poet from Barbados is that the English language contains a wide rage of words from which to choose for almost every thought.
English is very versatile. The language you are reading here is written English, if you are reading it aloud what is written here, you are speaking English.
English the Universal Language
The development of the English took place in Great Britain normally called England and has become the official language of almost 60 sovereign states, the most commonly spoken language in the United Kingdom, the United States of america, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, and a widely spoken language in the Caribbean, Africa and South Asia. It is widely learned as a second language. Truly, English as a global language arises mainly due to the political and economic power of its native speakers. However, the globalization of the English language falls on the doorsteps of America's economic and cultural supremacy in the areas of music, film and television, business and finance, computing, information technology, the internet and so on.
This happenstance has without doubt, consolidated the position of the English language and continues to maintain it in the unfolded years of the third Millennium.
Importantly to mention, English has acquired the status of a global lingua franca. Thanks to America's dominance and influence globally, makes English crucially important for developing international markets, especially in the areas of tourism, advertising, and mastery of English which provides access to scientific, technological and academic resources which would otherwise be denied in developing countries.
