葵と楓172：情熱の花&恋のバカンス&恋のフーガ Melvin Bragg predicts ! English is the first language. Yet English does not have the biggest core-speaking population. Mandarin Chinese is number 1. But in my opinion, English is a language with an immense capacity to absorb others, to convert others. To buy and sell, to enjoy and participate, to sing and be heard, increasingly and everywhere, we must need American English. By the way, I am interested in Shakespeare and his English. Shakespeare had made radical changes in English. For example he used 'the green-eyed monster'= the jealousy) for the first time. As English spread, it began to chafe at the bonds and then to cut loose from the language spoken in England. Norman Conquest, Chaucer' Canterbury Tales, Wycliff's Bible translation and Chancery's consistency are very important. Provincial accent and dialect words became further stigmatized. A gentleman was known as much by his correct pronunciation as by his wealth and breeding. George Bernard Show can explain it in his musical. Just as English has a remarkable capacity to unite, so it seems to possess infinite powers of division. Lion King has chosen Kiswahili 'simba'. It has been estimated that between 1750 and 1900 half the world's published papers on mechanical, industrial and scientific advances were written and distributed in English. The world's leading trading and industrial nation , the workshop of the world, is strong. The language, built over centuries, supple in all the arts of absorbing, stealing and restructuring, had matched the economic explosion. The more English spread, the more it diversifies, the more it could tend towards fragmentation. Melvin Bragg predicts that English might generate a family of languages in the future, just as Latin once gave birth to a number of Romance languages. Cf. The adventure of English by Melvin Bragg
