Language
The official language of England is English, which is spoken today by millions of people all over the world.
Many students go to England from other countries to study the language and learn about the culture.
Although everyone speaks English, there are many different accents around the country. French was the
official language in England between 1066 and 1362, which is why there are many French words and
expressions in English such as ‘bon voyage’ for ‘have a good trip’ or ‘bouquet’ for ‘a bunch of flowers’.
