Extension English in the world
English
sectors Presence
If we consider the extension of areas of human activity, we must recognize that only have a few in which English is not the dominant language. It is, without doubt, in all matters related to new technologies. The telecommunications revolution is closely linked to the consolidation of English as regular communication between individuals and groups with different native languages.
The same happens in international politics, where English has long replaced French as the language of diplomacy. Almost all agencies have international English as official language, often English is also the working language, to the coexistence of several languages \u200b\u200bformally regarded as official. This attests to an undeniable fact: while some countries (mainly France) are trying against all odds to diminish the importance of English in international forums and force the other co-official languages, the fact is that at the end when it comes to communicating, chosen language is in most cases English.
The areas where they may have been left feeling less than the hegemony of English is the art and fashion, but in other facets of culture, such as film, English is the dominant language.
territorial presence
English English is the language of America, although in two French-speaking Canadian provinces, and although there are still (and gain new momentum) indigenous languages. In the rest of America, English has a small presence as official or dominant language, since it is only in two countries of the continent and in a handful of Caribbean SIDS. However, in all other American countries, English language, French or Portuguese, English is clearly perceived as the language of external communication.
In Europe, English is the official language and dominant in the whole of the British Isles, not just in England. In the last fifty years, English has become fully in the language of communication between non-native (lingua franca) most commonly used throughout Europe, finally moving to second place in French.
In continental Europe appeared even a formal variety of English called ELFE (Inglés as a Lingua Franca for Europe, or English as a lingua franca for Europe "). The ELFE, promoted by experts in linguistics, tries to systematize and simplify the English for use by non-native speakers from various European languages. Known in England as "European Inglés "(not without some irony), it is ultimately the way to speak English that characterizes the vast majority do not natively present in any pan-European event.
In sub-Saharan Africa the fate of English has relied heavily on the areas of influence held by the former colonial powers. Normally we can say that English is the language of scholars in the former British colonies, and is also the native tongue of their elites. It is also the language of communication between different ethnic groups in these countries, and often the only language with official status. In the former Portuguese and French colonies, English is only a third language after the native language and the lingua franca (and official) French or Portuguese, despite which in recent years is gaining ground in the interest of these societies.
In the Islamic world, English has become the language of external communication par excellence, although the French still maintains some influence in the Maghreb and in Lebanon.
in Asia and the Pacific Islands English is the language clearly conveys the international trade and political relations. In India the local variety of English is one of the major languages \u200b\u200band Standard English is the main language of interethnic communication and media. In Australia and New Zealand is the official and dominant language.
