The language that we are using now is English. As everybody knows, English has become a world language because of its establishment as a mother tongue outside England. It's spoken by 320 million people. English is a member of the Indo European language family. This large language family includes most of the languages that are spoken throughout Europe, languages such as English, French, and Greek. Of course, nowadays many Indo European languages are spoken in other parts of the world. For instance, Spanish, which is an Indo European language, is spoken throughout South and Central America, but originally it was spoken only in Europe.
Another large language family is the Afro Asiatic family. The Afro-Asiatic family includes most languages in the area of North Africa. Languages such as Arabic, which is spoken throughout the Middle East, and many of the local languages of the Sahara Desert region such as Hausa are members of the same family.
現(xiàn)在我們使用的語言是英語。眾所周知,英語成為了世界的語言,它的創(chuàng)立和發(fā)展,是因為它在英國之外也是其他地方的母語。它被3.2億人所使用。英語屬于印歐語系。這個語系包括很多歐洲廣泛使用的語言,像英語,法語和希臘語。當(dāng)然,現(xiàn)在很多歐印語系的語言在世界其他地方也使用。例如,印度語系的西班牙語,在美國的南部和中部廣泛使用,但起初只在歐洲使用。
另一個大的語系家族是阿非羅-亞細亞語系。阿非羅-亞細亞語系包括很多北非使用的語言,像在中東地區(qū)使用廣泛的阿拉伯語,和很多撒哈拉地區(qū)主要使用的本地語言,像豪撒語也屬于這個語系。
