Abstract
Abstract: Globally, English is the most popular language, spoken in almost all
countries. According to the statistics, nearly half of the world’s population is well-
versed in this language. It is proved by many native and non-native speakers that
English is an efficient language worldwide. We can see a strong link between
dominance and cultural power in languages. English, as a language, became famous
because of its power base, whether political, economic or military. English language
derivation occurred from German, Latin, and other European languages. Due to this,
Europeans don’t consider English a complex language to learn. Also, according to
linguists, English became a global language due to its simplicity.
