[00:26.58]of people who speak English

[00:28.35]as a second language,

[00:50.26]Sixteen hundred years ago,

[00:52.00]the ancestor of "Engish"

[00:53.77]was a language spoken by a few barbaric tribes 2

[00:56.80]who had not even arrived in Britain.

[00:59.09]How did it eventually become a world language?

[01:04.12]British English

[01:05.82]It was in Shakespear's lifetime

[01:13.21]a colony 3 in Virginia-

[01:14.93]the first permanent English- speaking
