Tiếng Anh (English ˈɪŋɡlɪʃ) là một ngôn ngữ German Tây, được nói từ thời sơ kỳ Trung cổ tại Anh và nay là lingua franca toàn cầu.45 Từ English bắt nguồn từ Angle, một trong các bộ tộc German đã di cư đến Anh (mà chính từ Angle lại đến từ bán đảo Anglia (Angeln) bên biển Balt). Tiếng Anh có quan hệ gần gũi với các ngôn ngữ Frisia, nhưng vốn từ vựng đã được ảnh hưởng đáng kể bởi các ngôn ngữ German khác, cũng như tiếng Latinh và các ngôn ngữ Rôman, nhất là tiếng PhápNorman.6 Tiếng Anh đã phát triển trong quãng thời gian hơn 1.400 năm. Dạng cổ nhất của tiếng Anh một tập hợp các phương ngữ AngloFrisia được mang đến đảo Anh bởi người AngloSaxon vào thế kỷ thứ V được gọi là tiếng Anh cổ. Thời tiếng Anh trung đại bắt đầu vào cuối thế kỷ XI khi người Norman xâm lược Anh; đây là thời kỳ tiếng Anh được ảnh hưởng bởi tiếng PhápNorman.7 Thời tiếng Anh cận đại bắt đầu vào cuối thế kỷ XV với sự xuất hiện của máy in ép ở Luân Đôn và Kinh Thánh Vua James, và sự khởi đầu của Great Vowel Shift.8 Nhờ ảnh hưởng toàn cầu của Đế quốc Anh, tiếng Anh hiện đại lan rộng ra toàn thế giới trong thời gian từ thế kỷ XVII đến giữa thế kỷ XX. Qua tất cả các loại truyền thông in ấn và điện tử, cũng như sự nổi lên của Hoa Kỳ như một siêu cường, tiếng Anh trở thành ngôn ngữ dẫn đầu trong giao tiếp quốc tế, là lingua franca ở nhiều khu vực và ở nhiều phạm vi chuyên biệt như khoa học, hàng hải và luật pháp.9 Tiếng Anh là bản ngữ lớn thứ ba trên thế giới, sau tiếng Quan thoại và tiếng Tây Ban Nha.10 Đây là ngôn ngữ thứ hai được học nhiều nhất và là ngôn ngữ chính thức của gần 60 quốc gia có chủ quyền. Ngôn ngữ này có nhiều người nói như ngôn ngữ thứ hai và ngoại ngữ hơn người bản ngữ. Tiếng Anh là ngôn ngữ phổ biến nhất ở Vương quốc Liên hiệp Anh và Bắc Ireland, Hoa Kỳ, Canada, Úc, Cộng hòa Ireland và New Zealand, và được nói rộng rãi ở một số khu vực tại Caribe, châu Phi và Nam Á.11 Đây là ngôn ngữ đồng chính thức của Liên Hiệp Quốc, của Liên minh châu Âu và của nhiều tổ chức quốc tế và khu vực khác. Đây là ngôn ngữ German phổ biến nhất, chiếm ít nhất 70% số người nói của ngữ tộc này. Khối từ vựng tiếng Anh rất lớn, và việc xác định gần chính xác số từ cũng là điều không thể.1213 Ngữ pháp tiếng Anh hiện đại là kết quả của sự thay đổi dần dần từ một ngôn ngữ với sự biến tố hình thái đa dạng và cấu trúc câu tự do, thành một ngôn ngữ mang tính phân tích với chỉ một ít biến tố, có cấu trúc SVO cố định và cú pháp phức tạp.14 Tiếng Anh hiện đại dựa trên trợ động từ và thứ tự từ để diễn đạt hệ thống thì, thể và thức, cũng như sự bị động, nghi vấn và một số trường hợp phủ định. Dù có sự khác biệt đáng chú ý về giọng và phương ngữ theo vùng miền và quốc gia – ở các mặt ngữ âm và âm vị, cũng như từ vựng, ngữ pháp và chính tả – người nói tiếng Anh trên toàn thế giới có thể giao tiếp tương đối dễ dàng.
