English is a West Germanic language in the Indo-European language family, whose speakers, called Anglophones, originated in early medieval England. The namesake of the language is the Angles, one of the ancient Germanic peoples that migrated to the island of Great Britaian

It is the language of science, aviation, computers, diplomacy and tourism. Last but not least,

it is the language of international communication, the media and the internet. Whether it is for professional or personal reasons, understanding the importance of English will help you reach your goals

It is generally stated that English has around 170,000 words,

or 220,000 if obsolete words are counted;

this estimate is based on the last full edition of the Oxford English Dictionary from 1989 .

Over half of these words are nouns, a quarter adjectives, and a seventh verbs. There is one count that puts the vocabulary at about 1 million words—but that count presumably includes words such as Latin species names, scientific terminology, botanical terms, prefixed and suffixed words, jargon, foreign words of extremely limited use, and technical acronyms.
