Abstract

English is a language that has kept the whole world bonded together in present times. In 1500 years, after its origin it has become a lot more than just a language; it has evolved into a global institute itself. English language's importance today can be compared to salt whose presence is seldom felt but absence is recognized instantly.

In this article, I have sought out to trace the evolution and globalisation of English language over the years since it has originated.
