The English Language

frequency	manner

English is the first language in about 70 countries, so there are more than 400 million people who speak it perfectly. Around the world, there are between 350 and 380 million people who can speak English well as a second language.

There are about 300 000 words in a complete English dictionary, but most people usually use about 30 000 words.

The English alphabet has got 26 letters. It isn't as long as some other European alphabets. Hungarian, for example, has got 40 letters.

Modern English comes from Old English which developed from the old Anglo-Saxon language. Other languages, including French, Norse, Greek and Latin, also shaped English at some stages.

The three English words that people use most often are the, of and to. The word sorry isn't in the top ten, which is surprising because British people say sorry nearly two million times during their life!
