English is the most widely used and well known language among scholars and educated people. Moreover it is a world's media, cinema, TV, Pop Music and computer language.



The main reasons are behind its universality is that it began to spread during the 16th century and with the passage of time it got penetrated in almost every part of world.

The concept of a Universal Language is more vital, in the era of world mass communication. Before this era Greek, Latin, French were to some extent universal languages, though mainly in Europe.

By a lucky coincidence due to factors above, English, the Universal language is one of the simplest and easiest natural languages in the world. The only other simple and easy languages are constructed ones.

English Language uses Latin alphabet, the most universal, simple and short one (only the Greek alphabet is shorter and simpler). In addition, in English, the Latin alphabet presents its most "clean" form as a true alphabet with only 26 basic letters and no diacritics. Verb conjugation is very simple and easy. English is one of the most analytical languages, with no significant synthetic, agglutinative characteristics.

In conclusion, it is lucky for us that our universal language is the simplest and easiest, even though that simplicity and easiness weren't the reasons that lead English to that condition.
