How English is Taking Over the Planet

English is everywhere...

English has grown to a vast size and astonishing influence.

Behemoth, bully, loudmouth, thief: English is everywhere, and everywhere, English dominates, Jacob Mikanowski reports on theguardian.com.

From inauspicious beginnings on the edge of a minor European archipelago, it has grown to vast size and astonishing influence, Mikanowski wrote.

Almost 400 million people speak it as their first language; a billion more know it as a secondary tongue, he added.

It is the official language in at least 59 countries, the unofficial lingua franca in dozens more, he noted.
