Line number
1. English has for more than a century and a half been called a world language. Nowadays
2. linguists argue whether it is the world language. The number of people who speak it as their
3. mother tongue has been estimated at between three hundred million and four hundred million. It
4. is recognized as an official language in countries where 1.5 billion people live. In China, the
5. importance attached to learning English is so great that a televised teaching course drew
6. audiences of up to one million. About 80 per cent of the data stored on the world’s computers is
7. believed to be in English.
8. Nowadays insufficient knowledge of English can cause problems in business- particularly if
9. companies wish to trade with the US or other English-speaking nations. However, many new
10. speakers already have some familiarity with English. This is because it has already seeped into
11. other languages.
12. Some nations regard this spread of English as unwelcome for both political and cultural
13. reasons. French authorities have taken official steps to prevent the flow of English words and
14. phrases into their language, a trend estimated at 20000 every year. The use of certain words in
15. official documents has been banned.Others go further and believe that the use of English is a
16. challenge to their individuality and that the non-native language is undermining their national
17. identity. This is why political unrest is often linked to language. In Belgium, for instance, there
18. is conflict between speakers of Flemish (a form of Dutch) and Walloon ( a form of French).
19. Recently there has been a successful campaign for bilingual forms and road-signs in
20. Wales and parents living in Wales have the right to have their children educated wholly in
21. Welsh. In Canada, too, there has been a long-running and at times bitter struggle between
22. English and French, centered on the province of Quebec. Malaysia and the Philippines for 20
23. years have been trying to diminish the importance of English as an official language.
