英语是联合国的工作语言之一，也是事实上的国际交流语言。英语属于印欧语系中日耳曼语族下的西日耳曼语支，并通过英国的殖民活动传播到世界各地。由于在历史上曾和多种民族语言接触，它的词汇从一元变为多元，语法从“多屈折”变为“少屈折”，语音也发生了规律性的变化。根据以英语作为母语的人数计算，英语可能是世界上第三大语言，但它是世界上最广泛的第二语言。世界上60%以上的信件是用英语书写的，上两个世纪英国和美国在文化、经济、军事、政治和科学上的领先地位使得英语成为一种准国际语言。

English is one of the official languages of United Nations as well as an actual international language.English belongs to the West Germanic branch,which is an affiliation of the Middle Germanic branch of Indo-European family.Through the colonialism of Britain,English is spread around the world.Due to the contiguity with different ethnic languages in the history,its vocabulary has been diversified; its grammar simplified; its intonation altered into a specific pattern.In accordance with the total number of English natives,English might be the third widely-used language in the world,despite the fact that it is the most popular second language worldwide.More than sixty percent of the letters in the world are written in English.Moreover,over the last two centuries,the leading positions in cultures,economies,military,politics and science had almost made English an International language.
