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 1350, after having incorporated many elements
of French that were introduced following the Norman invasion of 1030. Until
the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and had not
attended 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 percent of the information stored on computer
