Many people living in the European Union, for example, frequently communicate in English as well as in their own languages. Like Latin in Europe in the Middle Ages, English is one of the main languages of international communication.A major factor in the popularity of English has been the spread of commerce throughout the world and, in particular, the emergence of the United Kingdom and the United States as world economic powers.
