How Did English Spread Throughout the World?
The arrival of the Anglo-Saxons in Britain is usually considered the beginning of the English language’s
spread. The language changed when Norse invaders brought several new words, which were added into
daily speech. English began to borrow some words from French and Latin.
During the Medieval period, English started to become more standardized. As London grew, other
dialects of English began to fade or merge into what we think of as English today. The British Empire is
typically considered the next major phase of English’s spread. As England invaded regions around the
world and established colonies, it brought English with it.
Today, English is the third most common primary language in the world, right behind Mandarin
Chinese and Spanish. Over one billion people across the world speak English, though only around 380
million speak it as their first language. It is one of the most commonly studied languages and is
sometimes called a global language because it is used for international organizations. Pilots are
required to communicate in English for international flights, and organizations such as the United
Nations and the European Union list English as an official working language. This is partly because so
many countries speak English or recognize it as an official language.

New Zealand is a small country in the southern Pacific Ocean. There are two main islands, the North
Island and the South Island, as well as many smaller islands. New Zealand is 268,000 square kilometres,
about the same size as the United Kingdom.
Maori people arrived from the Pacific in the 10th century, and by the 12th century there were many
Maori settlements along the coasts of New Zealand. The Maori name for New Zealand is Aotearoa,
which means ‘the land of the long white cloud’. Seven hundred years later, large numbers of Europeans
started to settle in New Zealand. According to Government figures, the population of New Zealand in
2015 was over four million, and of these, about 75 percent lived in the North Island.
There are four main cities. Auckland, in the north, is the largest city with a population of over one
million people. Auckland's population includes many different nationalities. For example, there are
large groups of European, Maori, Pacific Island, Chinese and Indian people. Together with other smaller
groups, they make Auckland an interesting and exciting place to live.
Although Wellington is the capital, the centre of government, it is smaller and quieter than Auckland
with a population of 350,000. The main cities in the South Island are Christchurch, known as the Garden
City, and Dunedin, which is often compared to a small Scottish city.
