Discuss English as Global language.
Ans English is said to be a global language as no other language is read
and spoken in so many countries as it is. Naturally, it has becomes the language
of international trade, commerce, science and diplomacy.
Although it has acquired the distinction of being international language it
has been conditioned to the use of local expression. American English, for
instance, differ in spelling of lots of words. The expressions, too, is distinctively
its own.
Similarly Indian English has been conditioned in local (Indian) way of
life. In the novels of Mulk Raj Anand we find the use of local dialect so far as
abuses are concerned. Some local (Indian) Phrases have also become popular.
Thus, English, without any doubt, may be called global English.
