Outside Influences.
Perhaps one of the things that has made the English language today the closest the world has to a lingua franca is its 1) flexibility. The history of Britain is a tale of many 2) invasions, from Anglo Saxons to Vikings and Normans, to name but a few, and they all left a 3) lasting mark on the development of English as it is spoken today. One of the results of this is that English has always 4) readily absorbed words from other languages and this is a process that continues to this day. English has borrowed a very wide variety of foreign words and made them its own. Words like char from Chinese, hoi polloi from Greek and apparatchik from Russian are all words that are commonly used in English.

The language grew not only because Britain was conquered so many times but it also changed because of the British Empire. As the old empire spread the language across the world, it lost control of it too. Whatever part of the world English took root in, as either a native language in places like the US and Australia, or as a second language, the 5) inhabitants changed the way it was used. Each region has its own dialect of the language, which has added new vocabulary and uses its own unique 6) pronunciation or accent. What is fascinating is that these new variations on the language have also influenced how it is spoken in the land it originated in. English is a language that changes continually because of the vast variety of peoples and cultures that use it.
