العولمة / الأنجليزية: التنوع اللغوي المهدد في نظام لغوي عالمي جديد

Historically. The rise and fall of military. Economic. Cultural, or religious powers was accompanied by the rise and fall of their subsequent languages. There is no doubt that English has been rising with the rise of the British empire and the American superpower. It is argued that English has become the most widely-spoken language in the world, with more native speakers and second-language learners than any other language. With the demise of the british empire, its linguistic legacy evolved into what has come to be termed englishes. English has established itself as the language of science, the language of politics, the language of international communication, functioning as a lingua franca in many parts of the world and as one of the main five languages acknowledged by the security council, becoming a blatant epitome of linguistic imperialism.
