We know English is the Mother tongue of the people where live in England or the United Kingdom of Great Britain but Hundred millions of people speak English as Mother tongue and about hundreds of millions speak English as their second language. Many centuries ago English was spoken only in England. It is clear for us from the history of this country: England was the home country of a huge colonial Empire and called British Empire. That is way English was brought all the parts of the world which were called British colonies. So English became the world language. There were British colonies in America, Asia, Africa, India, Australia and New Zealand. Now the days the largest English speaking countries except Great Britain: are the USA, Canada and Australia. They are the developed capitalist states in the world. But in the past the most English speakers live in North America. For the first time the English language was brought to the North American continent by English people in 1607.
