English is a language of adoption and reaching out. English adopts words and forms from other languages, and reaches out to the world influencing other languages. English is a good brotherly language. It welcomes other languages that unconsciously touch and impact English, and English harmoniously fits in as a global language sensitive to local speech and cultures. Most everyone is touched in some way by English.
