The secret of the popularity of English as a foreign language is often explained by the great number of French, Latin and Greek borrowings in it. Modern English emerged because of the so-called Great Vowel Shift in the 15th century. The word “ English” comes from the name of the Germanic tribe of the Angles. After the Norman Conquest in 1066, Old English borrowed a considerable number of French words and evolved into Middle English. Historically, English originated from a number of dialects, now collectively called Old English, which were brought to Great Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century.
English is widely studied as a second language and is the official language of many former colonies of Great Britain (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Republic of South Africa and Ireland), as well as the working language of many international organisations. The global military, scientific, political and cultural influence of the British Empire and later of the USA turned English into a lingua franca (language of interethnic communication) in many countries of the world. All our translators and interpreters have higher education in Linguistics and at least a five years’ work experience.Įnglish is a language of the West Germanic language group which arose in England in the Anglo-Saxon period. As a result, all the works will be done at a high level and as soon as possible.
