English Facts
English is the world's first language - it is the dominant tongue for matters of science, communications, business and diplomacy; and is the most-used language on the internet by far
The worldwide spread of English is primarily thanks to the reach of the British Empire and the USA's growing worldwide influence after the Second World War
English uses the standard Latin alphabet, with the occasional accent used for words borrowed from other languages, such as 'café'
