Abstract	English has an official status in 87 countries and territories, far more than any other language. 83% of students in European Union are studying English. Since 1989 the Pasteur Society in Paris in English has published three of the most important scientific journals. 85% of the world’s international organizations make use of the English language, with one-third using English exclusively. The history of the English language is a classic rags-to-riches tale. In the year A.D. 450 four marauding Germanic tribes crossed the North Sea and overran the Celts (following the withdrawal of Roman troops from Britain). With the ascension of the French-speaking Normans to the throne of England in 1066, the influence of the English language probably decreased. It remained the language of the peasantry. Until 1399, England lacked a ruler whose mother tongue was English.
