Global English

When we communicate with foreign people, the most of important problem is language. If all people in the world speak common language as native tongue, it would be helpful to have cross cultural communication obviously. Common language that all people of the world speak might have possibility to change the world excellently. However, is it possible that all people in the world speak same language?
Recently, so many people in the world speak English but they have individual style of English because languages depend on their culture, history and nationality. Every country has original characteristic and different environment. For example, in India, English has become official language because it was colony of British a few centuries ago. Although their English is different from people who speak English as native tongue because their native tongue is Hindu. English has been branched and become different language.
Today, there are so many kinds of English in the world. It means English has become link language gradually since it is useful for their growth of business, industry, economic and so on. In addition, most of the countries are familiar with English because so much English vocabulary has been introduced.
In conclusion, it is impossible to have common language in the world but English surely has been link language in globalization. Every country that people speak English as native speaker also has their own English language. Native speakers should recognize about English as native tongue and as second tongue. I expect that The People who speak English as second language will be increasing rapidly. Eventually, we are getting our opportunities that we can contact between people from different countries effectively and easily by using link language.
