Scotland, or Ireland. However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the
globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary work. Thus, small
enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world. As these
communities proliferated. English gradually became the language of international business, banking and
diplomacy.
Currently, about 80 percent of the information stored on computer systems worldwide is English. Two-
thirds of the world's science writing is in English, and English is the main language of technology, advertising,
