why every one want to learn English language?

Answer 1

Because English is so widely spoken, it has often been referred to as a "global language", the lingua franca of the modern era. While English is not an official language in many countries, it is currently the language most often taught as a second language around the world. It is also, by international treaty, the official language for aircraft/airport and maritime communication, as well as being one of the official languages of both the European Union and the United Nations, and of most international athletic organizations, including the Olympic Committee. Books, magazines, and newspapers written in English (such as Time and Newsweek) are available in many countries around the world. English is also the most commonly used language in the sciences. In 1997, the Science Citation Index reported that 95% of its articles were written in English, even though only half of them came from authors in English-speaking countries.

The influence of the British Empire, and Commonwealth of Nations, as well as the primacy of the United States, especially since WWII, has spread English throughout the globe. Because of that global spread, English has developed a host of English dialects and English-based creole languages and pidgins.

The major varieties of English each include, in most cases, several subvarieties, such as Cockney slang within British English, Newfoundland English, and the English spoken by Anglo-Québecers within Canadian English, and African American Vernacular English ("Ebonics") and Southern English within American English. English is a pluricentric language, without a central language authority like France's Académie française; and although no variety is clearly considered the only standard, there are a number of accents considered as more formal, such as Received Pronunciation in Britain or the Bostonian dialect in the U.S.

Scots developed — largely independently — from the same origins, but following the Acts of Union 1707 a process of language attrition began, whereby successive generations adopted more and more features from English causing dialectalisation. Whether it is now a separate language or a dialect of English better described as Scottish English is in dispute. The pronunciation, grammar and lexis of the traditional forms differ, sometimes substantially from other varieties of English.

Because of English' wide use as a second language, English speakers have many different accents, which often signal the speaker's native dialect or language. For the more distinctive characteristics of regional accents, see Regional accents of English speakers. And for the more distinctive characteristics of regional dialects, see List of dialects of the English language. Just as English itself has borrowed words from many different languages over its history, English loanwords now appear in a great many languages around the world, indicative of the technological and cultural influence of its speakers. Several pidgins and creole languages have formed using an English base, for example Tok Pisin began as one. There are many words in English coined to describe forms of particular non-English languages that contain a very high proportion of English words. Franglais, for example, is used to describe French with a very high English word content; it is found on the Channel Islands. Another variant, spoken in the border bilingual regions of Québec in Canada, is called Frenglish. Norwenglish is a form of English containing many words or expressions directly copied from Norwegian. Common European English is an undefined form of English commonly spoken in the institutions of the European Union by people whose native languages are other than English, and which is therefore full of nonstandard expressions influenced by a mixture of several other languages. It is commonly believed that those who have most difficulty in understanding this form of English are the British and Irish themselves.

Answer 2

The whole world doesn't speak English, a lot speak French or Spanish, if you know these three you can get along everywhere in the world, if you only know one you are limiting yourself in a global society, imagine not getting a business deal because your competitors bothered to make an effort to learn the suppliers language, even if everyone did learn English, what's to say their English is any good? Would you not rather be able to make sure what they are saying is right? Languages will not disappear in 30 years, thats a stupid idea, I'm assuming you have no need because you have never left the town you grew up in, the world is a big place and it doesn't revolve around you. Learning another language actually makes you better at English, it helps you figure out how it works, what words 'mean' and how they are constructed, and you end up being able to spell words like dinosaur. Unless I got that wrong and you did mean a physically painful 1970s mid-engined, rear-drive Ferrari.

Answer 3

Because it is the only language that is spoken almost all over the world. A decade ago to learn English, you had to attend costly English classes or purchase course material like tapes and books. Now you can learn English for free from the comfort of your home using the Internet. The BBC and the British Council offer a number of on line courses, which teach written and spoken English. You can also improve your English by watching television programs and reading English newspapers. For more information, visit http://tinyurl.com/qnzpt

Answer 4

It's considered the universal language and the most spoken language apart from the actual language of the particular country.

Answer 5

The reason is that with an understanding of the language one gains access to a level playing field, and it is more difficult to be fooled or cheated. Knowledge is power, and ones language is the way in which people judge ones knowledge.

The best way to appear as others is to speak their language, and in doing so, one tends to learn about the others as well.
