This study aims to examine the conditions in the history of the English language on which English has developed into a global language. It is examined from such points of view as Anglo-Saxons as users of English, the loan words of English, the spread and the variants of English, the number and the distribution of English users, and the simplification of English. Anglo-Saxons well adapted themselves to the situations confronted, assuming a vicious or obedient disposition to maintain England as a homeland. English has borrowed so much vocabulary from other languages that it has a hybrid and cosmopolitan vocabulary. Lots of French loan words in Middle English indicate the first step towards English becoming a global language. English spread to the whole British Isles in the Middle English period, spread to the world through British colonial policy from the 17th century onward, and has further spread on the economic and military power and culture of the United States since the 20th century. English has spread widely and has given birth to variants through contact with indigenous languages. English has developed into a global language and is now the most ubiquitous language on earth. The use of English by such a large number of people is due partly to the simplification of the English language. The more English is simplified, the more likely it is for English to be viewed as a basic skill for living on earth since people find it ever easier to learn and use English.
