English is a branch of West Germanic language, which was first used by Britain in the Middle Ages and became the most widely used language in the world because of its huge colony. The Anglo tribe, the ancestor of the British, is one of the Germanic tribes that later moved to the island of Great Britain and were called England.

Both names come from Angeria in the Baltic Peninsula. This language is closely related to Frisian and Lower Saxon, and its vocabulary is influenced by other Germanic languages, especially Nordic (North Germanic), which is mainly written in Latin and French.

English phonology

English phonology refers to the study of English phonology (that is, phonetic system). Just like all languages, regardless of history, the pronunciation of spoken English varies from dialect to dialect.

This variation is particularly obvious in English, because it is widely used in English-speaking countries in Australia, Canada, the United States, New Zealand, Britain and the Caribbean, and is used as a mother tongue or a second language in every country in the world.

There is no decisive and internationally recognized standard for English, so English in different countries may sometimes hinder communication. Even so, English accents in different regions can be understood.
