Is English is deserves to be a global language? there's tons of languages here in our world but why English?

Absoloutely , this language is the best option to be our universal language because of many reasons. One of the reason are the geographical, historical and socio cultural reasons. Lastly, this language has the high numbers of speakers scattered all over the world. The English language has established it current  position as a global language thousand year ago.
 

  The English speakers are already scattered thousand years ago. The people who are using it as a meduim of communication came to England from Northern Europe and started to spread around the British area. It began with the expeditions in Asia and America and continued with the colonial developments in Africa and South Pacific. They set english as a official language or semi-language in order to convey the message they wanted to say. To establish a mutual understanding betwern two parties and to avoid conflicts along the way.

In terms in sociocultural aspect, people depends on English for their social life and economic well being.They used this language for communication as regards in their bussiness, political domains and entertainment such as film industry ,television, music bussiness and in telecommunication.

Furthermore, English language consist of high number of speaker all over the world. It reached the top positon in the  language hierchy.

More than 85% of the scientific, technological and academic production in world today is performed in english. English is most widely spoken language in many countries along the globe.

Some people says that losing languange means losing identity, that it is more than tool in communication. Stating also that sticking to our native language is an act of patriotism and we should reject the language of colonial countries.

According to study there's an intimate relationship between language and culture. If they adopt another language,eventually old language may die out. Welcoming new language is an act of negligence for them because the native language that they originally use may die. And it can also happen to their culture. Moreover, for them it is a matter of time that they will welcome new culture and tradition because they welcome the foreign language

However, the introduction of English as a global language does not encourage everyone to leave your mother language and shift to others. It is just a tool for communication that helps everyone  to communicate  to other people from different backgrounds. Flexibility in communication is needed in order to avoid misunderstandings and conflicts. Being stoic and rigid wont do any good to everyone. By conveying your message and intentions to everyone despite of different backgrounds builds a good relationship .

  English language deserve to be on top because it's contributes a lot in different aspects. Aside from the reason that America is one of the powerful countries, It is the best option because it's strong , well-developed and with million of speakers.

Placing the English as our global language is one of the reason why many we are here today. Communicating in any social media platforms such as YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and etc. Despite of different races, gender, ages and circumstances and peopld starts building relationships with each other because they can communicate freely with this language as a meduim.

On the other hand, learning English language can be difficult depends upon the person. The accent that they currently using because of speaking native language is hard to disregard quickly. The shifting of  language depends upon the person your sre speaking with can be hurdle too. However, without hardship there is no great result.

Expressing, listening, communicating and speaking to the word you are familiar with is comforting to the people. Having someone to undertsand you and expressing your thoughts to understand each other is one of the satisying feeling you can felt.
