Germanic languages (Germanic Branch) - the language is the ancient Scandinavian language and Ang Negro - Saxon evolution of them there. As a result of the impact of early Christian missionaries, Germanic and Celtic languages use the Latin alphabet for most of the. English language that belongs to this branch. Some facts about the English language are: English is the number of users in the world's second language - first course ought to our Chinese; English, the most widely used; English is the scientific and technological language; English, the most extensive vocabulary; to English As a native of the countries and regions, up to ... ....
