The topic of this article is the history of the English language. The article will discuss the origins of the English language, its development over time, and its current status as a global language.

The English language is a West Germanic language that was first spoken in early medieval England and is now a global lingua franca. Named after the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes that migrated to England, it ultimately derives its name from the Anglia peninsula in the Baltic Sea. It is closely related to the Frisian languages, but its vocabulary has been significantly influenced by other Germanic languages, particularly Norse (a North Germanic language), as well as by Latin and French.

English has developed over the course of more than 1,400 years. The earliest forms of English, a group of West Germanic (Ingvaeonic) dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century, are called Old English. Middle English began in the late 11th century with the Norman conquest of England; this was a period in which English was influenced by Old French, in particular through its Old Norman dialect. Early Modern English began in the late 15th century with the introduction of the printing press to London, the printing of the King James Bible and the start of the Great Vowel Shift.

Through the worldwide influence of the British Empire, modern English spread around the world from the 17th to mid-20th centuries. Through all types of printed and electronic media of these times, English became the leading language of international discourse and the lingua franca in many regions and professional contexts such as science, navigation and law. Modern English is the most widely learned second language and is either the Official Language or one of the official languages in almost 60 sovereign states. There are more people who have learned it as a second language than there are native speakers. It is the most commonly spoken Germanic language, accounting for at least 70% of speakers of this Indo-European branch. English is the third most widely spoken native language in the world, after Standard Chinese and Spanish.

English is a very versatile language, and can be used in a wide variety of contexts. It is the language of international business, science, and technology. It is also the language of popular culture, and is widely used in film, television, music, and literature.

English is a fascinating and complex language, with a rich history and a bright future. It is the language of opportunity, and the language of the world.
