Until the 1600s, English was, for the most part, spoken only in England and hadn't extended even, as far as Wales, Scotland or Ireland However, during the course of the next two centuries, English began to spread around the globe as a result of exploration, trade (including slave trade), colonization, and missionary
work Thus, small enclaves of English speakers became established and grew in various parts of the world As these communities proliferated, English gradually
became the primary language of international business, banking and diplomacy
