From the time of their explorations in the 15th century, they brought the English language to the different continents particularly North America including Canada as well as the Caribbean, Oceania which was then known as Australia and New Zealand, Africa and even Southeast Asia, specifically India and the Pacific. American colonists likewise brought the English language to all their colonial outposts in the early 19th and 20th centuries. As a result of the said British and American imperialism, the use of the English language extended to all their colonies, reaching a widespread coverage which led to its adoption as a common language.Currently regarded as the universal language, English is the 2nd largest native language across all countries, spoken by nearly 800 million people around the globe. It is the official language in over 70 countries which are collectively responsible for 2/5 of the world's gross national product.
