The English language story

English began its life as a small group of dialects somewhere in the mists of North German. In the 5th century its speakers moved to Britain. After 1066, when the Normans conquered England, the upper classes spoke French, and English became the language of the lower classes for the next two hundred years. English began to spread outside Europe in the 16th century, first to colonies in North America, in the 18th century to India, and in the 19th century to Australia and New Zealand. English became important in the 19th century when it was the language of the British Empire. In the 20th century most of the colonies became independent while English was still used by many countries. In 2000 Nigeria had about 45 million people who spoke English as their first language, and India had almost 35 million people whose second language was English. In the former US colony of the Philippines, about 31 million speak English as their second language.
