From Comprehensible Input Wiki

English, specifically Standard English, is the official language of many countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and is widely used as a second language around the world. It is the most spoken language globally when combining native and non-native speakers, with approximately 1.5 billion people using it as a first or second language.

English has a profound impact on global communication, business, science, technology, and culture. It is the primary language of international discourse and the most commonly taught second language. The English language has a rich literary heritage, with contributions from renowned authors like William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, and Mark Twain.

As a West Germanic language, English originated from the early medieval period in England and was influenced by Old Norse, Latin, and French. This history has led to a diverse vocabulary and complex spelling system. English is known for its relatively simple grammar but can be challenging due to irregularities and exceptions in spelling and pronunciation.
