English Language Day
We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.
There was a quiet language that began on a small cluster of islands off the coast of Western Europe, it slowly developed and spread through a few different permutations until one day, in an explosion of colonialism, it suddenly spread across the world like wildfire. It became the language of what was once the most powerful nation in the world and has since become the language of commerce in countries all over the world. English Language Day celebrates this language, its history, and its oddities!
History Of English Language Day
The first origins of the English Language can be found in medieval England and takes its name from the Angles. The Angles were a West Germanic tribe that found its way to England, taking their name from the Anglia peninsula that juts out into the Baltic Sea. From its inception, it has taken on grammar, tones, and words from every language it has come into contact with. There are those who would argue that English is no longer a language of its own, but an amalgam of every language it’s come into contact with.
So powerful has English become, that it is now the Lingua Franca of the entire world, bringing together everyone for trade and communication, and serving as a required second language in almost every nation. English has become the official language of nearly 60 countries throughout the world, and it seems to gain ground with every passing year.
However, it also stands as one of the most complicated languages to learn as a second language (with Japanese standing toe to toe with it for this inauspicious award). Unsurprising when it contains words like their, there, and they’re. Or when the plural of goose is geese, but the plural of moose is… moose. English Language Day celebrates its history, its future, and its strangeness.
How to celebrate English Language Day
Celebrate English Language Day by learning a bit about its history, and words that may not be in use at the moment. Learn about where it’s spoken, and how it’s used. Maybe take some time to help someone learning English get a little better at it, or even learn about the different variations there are. Canadian English, UK English, Scots English, and American English all have their own little colloquialisms and slang that differ broadly from each other! Wouldn’t it be interesting to learn how one language can have so many variations and still be considered a single language? English Language Day gives you the chance to do just that!

Happy #StGeorgesDay #ShakespeareDay and #EnglishLanguageDay. Join Peter Donnelly and I. I will feature your draft or published/unpublished poetry/short prose/artworks about England and/or Shakespeare. Please include a short third person bio. I am working 11-16.30 at the supermarket so will add contributions afterwards.
The Shrew It isn’t the one performance I’ve seen, open air, gender-swapped, abridged, that comes back to me as I read it for the first time in twenty-one years, well as I remember that, at Fountains Abbey, the day after my final exam. Sly was Scottish, they messed up the ending, Bianca disappeared as the actress was playing Petruchio as well. Nor is it Burton and Taylor, though I can just picture…

#EnglishLanguageDay is celebrated on 23 April every year to mark the importance of the English language as a global language. This date was chosen as it is believed to be the birthday of William #Shakespeare, one of the most famous playwrights in English literature, and also the anniversary of his death.
William Shakespeare's contribution to the English language cannot be overstated. He wrote 38 plays and over 150 sonnets that continue to be studied and performed all over the world. His works have influenced the English language to a great extent, adding new words and expressions to the language that are still used today.
For example, Shakespeare introduced many common phrases to the English language, such as "all's well that ends well," "break the ice," "budge an inch," "foul play," "foregone conclusion," and "in a pickle." He also created many new words by using existing words in new ways, such as "eyeball," "manager," "skim milk," and "swagger."
Moreover, Shakespeare's plays helped to establish the grammatical rules of the English language. His works were written during the early modern period, a time when the English language was still evolving and did not have a standardized grammar. Shakespeare's plays helped to establish the rules of grammar and syntax that are still used in the English language today.
In addition to Shakespeare's influence, the English language has spread across the globe due to the expansion of the British Empire and the emergence of the United States as a global superpower. Today, English is spoken by over 1.5 billion people worldwide and is the most widely used language in international business, science, and diplomacy.
English Language Day provides an opportunity to celebrate the richness and diversity of the English language and its global impact. It is a reminder of the importance of learning and mastering the language to be able to communicate effectively in a globalized world.
