English introduction:

English is a language of Indo-European Germanic language family, which consists of 26 letters. It is the official language of the European Union, many international organizations and Commonwealth countries, and it is also the most widely used language in the world.

It was born in jutland and the Rhine valley, and spread to all parts of the world through British colonization. After that, it became an international language because of the world leading position of Britain and America in economy, military and politics.

Old English is greatly influenced by low Germanic languages, such as verbs, basic vocabulary, pronunciation, compound word structure, morphological changes, etc., but it is still very different from modern standard German.

Modern English does not originate or evolve from Romance or French, but thousands of modern English words, a large part of which come from French, which is close to or even the same as French. Modern English and most modern European languages are spelled by letters.
