English speaking countries.

Many centuries ago English was spoken in England only. Today English is the mother tongue of several hundred millions of people in different countries. English is spoken throughout the continent of north America , in the British Isles, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and many other countries.

Though it is not the language spoken by the greatest number of native speakers English is widely spoken in the world.

For a long time English was the most important of the languages of colonization in Africa, Asia, Australia and Oceania. English served as the only means of communication. Most of the British colonies became independent states, however, English is still spoken in many of those countries. Local languages are also spoken there.

English is also an international language and a second language of many nations. English is one of few languages used in the United Nations organization.

English learned as a foreign language throughout the world. In the Republic of Uzbekistan several foreign languages are taught in the system of education. Most of Uzbeks learn English as a foreign language. They are none-native speakers.

While in above-mentioned countries English is considered as a state language, in Uzbekistan it is one of the foreign languages, Uzbek is a state language here.

Later we shall read texts and shall speak much about English speaking countries.
