"Intro: A world language is not only characterized by the large number of its speakers (native or second language speakers), but also by its geographical distribution, and its use in international organizations and in diplomatic or trade relations. World languages in this sense are the six official languages of the UN (Chinese, English, French, Russian, Spanish, and Arabic) as well as Hindi/Urdu, Portuguese, and German. However, English is without a doubt the actual universal language. It means that it is a language spoken internationally and learned by many people as a second language. More than billion people speak English as a first or second language and it is the official language in 53 countries. English is the language of the Internet. Around 75% of the emails sent in the world and 80% of the world wide web is in English.
History of universal language In historic times, Greek and Latin were widely used. These empires stretched over most of Europe and well into Asia and Africa. Especially Latin was by many educated people considered the lingua franca of the Western world. The lingua franca means a language commonly used internationally. The Greek and Roman Empires, dating roughly from 500 BC to 500 AD, are regarded as the cradle of Western civilization in terms of their developing sciences, philosophy and a legal system based on individual rights. A number of international languages have been introduced as prospective world languages, the most successful of them being Esperanto, but none of them can claim the status of a living world language."
