    .
    English is a West Germanic language originating in England, and
    the first language for most people in Australia, Canada, the
    Commonwealth Caribbean, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom
    and the United States of America (also commonly known as the
    Anglosphere). It is used extensively as a second language and as an
    official language throughout the world, especially in Commonwealth
    countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and South Africa, and in
    many international organisations.
    Modern English is sometimes described as the global lingua franca.
    English is the dominant international language in communications,
    science, business, aviation, entertainment, radio and diplomacy. The
    influence of the British Empire is the primary reason for the initial spread
    of the language far beyond the British Isles. Following World War II, the
    growing economic and cultural influence of the United States has
    significantly accelerated the spread of the language. On an average
    school day approximately one billion people are learning English in one
    form or another.
    A working knowledge of English is required in certain fields,
    professions, and occupations. As a result over a billion people speak
    English at least at a basic level. English is one of six official languages of
    the United Nations.
