AI overview
English is a West Germanic language that emerged in early medieval England and has become the most spoken language globally, largely due to the influence of the British Empire and the United States. While it ranks third in native speakers after Mandarin Chinese and Spanish, English is the world's most widely learned second language and serves as a global lingua franca for international communication.
