A. So
many Japanese, French, Spanish and Germans mix English words with their mother
tongues that the resulting hybrids are called Japlish, Franglais, Spanglish and
Denglish, In Japanese, for example, there is a verb Makudonaru, to eat at
McDonald’s.
B. Have you ever wondered why the English language has different words
for animals and meat? When William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066,
French became the official language of the court. The English would look after
the animals and cook the meat, still calling the animals pig, sheep and cow.
The Normans, when they saw the cooked meat arrive at their table, would use
French words — pork, mutton and beef.
C. English is mixing with other languages around the world. Words newly
coined or in vogue in one language are very often added to English as well.
There are words from 120 languages in its vocabulary, including Arabic, French,
German, Greek, Italian, Russian, Spanish and Turkish. 70 per cent of the
English vocabulary are loan words and only 30 per cent of the words are
native.
D. Have you ever wondered how many people speak English? It’s around 400
million people. Geographically, English is the most wide-spread language on
earth, and it’s second only to Chinese in the number of people who speak it.
It’s spoken in the British Isles, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and much of
Canada and South Africa. English is also a second language of another 300
million people living in more than 60 countries.
E. In Shakespeare’s time only a few million people spoke English.
All of them lived in what is now Great Britain. Through the centuries, as a
result of various historical events, English spread throughout the world. There
were only 30,000 words in Old English. Modern English has the largest
vocabulary in the world — more than 600,000 words.
