One of the features of the English language is that it is used by not one but many nations as a national, state and official literary language.Among some other languages of the world, Great Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, a number of developing countries in Asia and Africa, former colonies of Great Britain, belong to multi-ethnic and poly-ethnic languages. not one, but several nations, not one, but several ethnic groups. Such a wide spread of the English language is associated with the expansionist policy of Great Britain in the Middle Ages. The small kingdom of Misty Albion managed to expand its possessions by conquering or exploring vast, often unexplored territories around the world. English-speakers settled in these areas voluntarily, as representatives of the ruling circles, explorers, missionaries, ordinary farmers who could never own a piece of land in their homeland. and in the new regions they became the owners of large plots of land
In the history of the distribution of the English language, it is customary to distinguish three periods in which it underwent significant changes. These changes affected not only the varieties of English, as in ordinary English, but also the varieties that we will look at later. Therefore, we will briefly list these periods.
The first period is the early Middle Ages, when the influence of French and some other languages on English as a result of the Norman Conquest was so great that in a relatively short time it became more Romance than Germanic. Words such as state, government, parliament, justice, crime, prison, student, lesson, library, science, pen, etc. have come into the English language.
