If we took a look at how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years ago, we woold
be very surprised to find out that English was hardly used outside the United Kingdom. The languoge
most commonly used between people of different nationalities, and particularly the aristocracy, wa
French. In fact, French was the language of diplomacy, culture and education. However, that is not the
case nowadays. English has replaced French as the international language of communication Today
there are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a fir
language. There are many reasons why English has become the language of international communication
Britain’s colonization of many parts of the world had something to do with it, but it is mainly due t
America’s rise to the position of major world power. This helped spread popular American cultur
throughout the world bringing the language with it. But is it good that English has spread to all parts o
the world so quickly? Language specialists seem to be divided over this issue. There are those who clair
that it is important to have a language that the people in our increasingly globalize world have
common. According to others, English is associated with a particular culture and therefore promotes the
culture at the expense of others. Linguists have suggested “Esperanto”, an artificially put-togeth
language, as a solution to international communication problems but without success. So English w
continue being the world language until some other language, maybe Chinese, which is the most widel
spoken native language in the world, takes over as the world’s international language instead of English
