    European Language Day

    What is European Language Day?
    The European Day of Languages (EDL)
    was first celebrated in 2001 during the
    European Year of Languages. At the end of
    this campaign the Council of Europe's
    Committee of Ministers decided to make
    EDL an annual event, to be celebrated
    each 26 September. Every year, millions of
    people in the Council's member states and
    elsewhere organise or take part in activities
    to promote linguistic diversity and the ability
    to speak other languages
    English Language
    English language, West Germanic language of the Indo-
    European language family that is closely related to
    the Frisian, German, and Dutch (in Belgium called
    Flemish) languages. English originated in England and is the
    dominant language of the United States, the United
    Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and various
    island nations in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. It is
    also an official language of India, the Philippines, Singapore,
    and many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including South
    Africa.
    History of the English Language
    The history of the English language really
    started with the arrival of three Germanic
    tribes who invaded Britain during the 5th
    century. These tribes, the Angles, the
    Saxons and the Jutes, crossed the North
    Sea from what today is Denmark and
    northern Germany. At that time the
    inhabitants of Britain spoke a Celtic
    language. But most of the Celtic speakers
    were pushed west and north by the invaders
    - mainly into what is now Wales, Scotland
    and Ireland.
    Usage of the
    English Language
    As of 2020 there are 1.27 billion
    English speakers around the
    world. This makes it the most
    spoken language, ahead of
    Mandarin Chinese (1.12 billion
    speakers) and Hindi (637 million
    speakers). More than 50
    countries officially list English as
    an official language.
