What do you think the countries marked on the map have in common?

The world’s language. There are approximately 450 million native English speakers around the world, in about 70 countries. Just to compare that with other languages, there are 885 million native speakers of Mandarin Chinese. But in the case of Mandarin Chinese people do not generally speak it outside China. This means that, at the moment, it is not really a world language in the same way as English. There are probably a billion people learning English as their second language. That’s almost one fifth of the world’s population China alone produces over 20 million English speakers a year! For better or worse, English has become the most global of languages, the language of business, science, education, politics, l and pop music. For the airlines of 157 countries (out of 168 in the world), it is the agreed international language of discourse. For example, in India there are more than 3,000 newspapers in English.

The Piraha tribe

The Piraha tribe. The story is about a small tribe called the Piraha who live in the Amazon, in Brazil. What's unusual about this tribe is their language. This is a fascinating tribe. Only 200 people speak Piraha, and it only has ten or eleven different sounds. We usually say that there are 44 different sounds in English. Ten or eleven sounds because the men use eleven and the women use ten. The Piraha people don't have any words for numbers. They don't count. They have only three words to count: 'one', 'two' and 'many' Another professor tried to teach them other numbers, but it was impossible. He gave them math lessons for eight months, but they didn't learn how to count. It isn't really that they can't. It's just that they don't want to, or they don't need to. For the Piraha and their culture, it just isn't important. There are no tenses in the Piraha language. They never talk about any moment except the present. They never tell stories. Stories don't exist in Piraha. They don't even talk about their families much. They have one word for both mother and father, and one word for brother or sister. There are no words for grandfather, grandmother, or cousins or uncles. Their language is very simple purely because their lives are very simple. They live for the moment. They only exist now. They have no need to express some of the things that other languages express.

Every British has a vocabulary of between 10000 and 15000 words.
