Global English

Nowadays, English is the unique language that has linked many people who speak different languages. Because of that, it becomes as a global language and therefore people have started to learn it to be able to deal with each other. So, many eastern countries that speak other than English languages have began to use English in their daily life. Therefore, English has been included in all their education levels. In addition, People in a work field use also English language in communication. From my point of view, English will remain as a global language and will not be affected by pidgin language.

People in many eastern countries, such as India and Malaysia speak English as a main language. Therefore, the importance and uses of that language became as much as their native languages or more. So, people have started to learn English by using many different ways. One of these ways is the media. TV and Internet are both the most two ways people use to learn English. As a result, English became so familiar there. Furthermore, other people started joining some schools, which focus on teaching English. Based on that, English language is considered as a global language.

Many people who speak English in eastern countries do not usually use a standard language. They just focus in using a simplified language in order to communicate. That kind of language is called pidgin language, which is a simplified form of speech that is usually a mixture of two or more languages that is used for communication between groups speaking different languages, and is not spoken as a first or native language. Regarding work fields, people do not usually use the pidgin language because of the different nationalities. So, Standard English language is required in communication. Based on that, Standard English language will not be affected by pidgin language.

In conclusion, it has been noted that the number of people who is learning and using English has been increase, so anyone who does not speak English will face difficulty in dealing with people. Thus, English will be the only main language, which connect people who have different native languages.
