How did English language originate?
language is not discovered but starts with just jabbering and gestures until someone sits down and puts symbols(words) to reflect the sound that are made and as for the language gaining universal acceptance it was taught to people of all countries that the British acquired by deceit and betrayal the language was taught to these people not to make them better but to serve their British masters more better there was a saying that the sun never sets on the British flag that is how big and vast areas they acquired, it means the sun is always shinning on the British flag somewhere in the world .

There are many words of Latin, French and Greek origin in the modern English language. However, the majority of the most commonly used words in Englis

Since there was no political borders for the scholars, in the ancient world, they moved from country to country, where they were duly honored. Panini, the greatest Sanskrit Grammarian travelled to the Gangetic plains from Taxila (Takshasila). We have internal evidence in the Ashtaadhyaayi of Panini. Similarly works in the Asian languages were translated into their own folds, like Arabic, Persian, Sanskrit etc. Later, the German and English Scholars who visited India in the pretext of missionaries, started
