Hello,

When people think of a debate on languages, they can start a strong argument that a strong matching exists between supremacy and cultural power. The main factor for which a language becomes global is because of powerful power-base, either in economy or politics or military.

The induction of the English language came from languages like French, Latin, German, and other European languages. This is one of the reasons why many Europeans don’t find it difficult to learn English language. Again, linguists argue that the simplicity of the English language is the reason why it became a global language.  Also, the pronunciation of the English language is not very complex as others like Korean or Turkish for example.

Primarily the difficulty level of any language differs from person to person and it also varies upon the culture to which one belongs to. For example, a Korean will have less difficulty in learning the Japanese language in comparison to a German person due to the nearness of the Korean and Japanese cultures.

Because to the huge British colonialism, no culture has a complete unconsciousness of the English language or words. English is a language that has never appeared as too strange for any community. And learning English is not a big deal for most people as they can find familiarity with the language.

English is a popular language because of the presence of various native and non-native speakers in whole world. According to statistics, one-fourth of the world is either fluent in the language or can somehow speak it. Also it’s true that the number of native Mandarin speakers is the largest in the world, Mandarin is not considered as global language because it has complex spellings, grammar, and letter system.

On the other hand, the English language has very less complexity problems. The English language has a lot of words and synonyms to express things. Any word or its meaning can be expressed with a high level of accuracy using English language.

English is definitely the most commonly spoken language in the world so far. On a global level, English has the most number of speakers, who speak English either as a first or second language. Without any doubt, no other language in the world will come close to English in terms of its huge popularity.

Hope this helps.....
