The first people to speak English were the British. Around five hundred years ago, the language only had the language spread so quickly? Until the 19lh century, Britain was a superpower in the world, which made the spread of English pick up pace. By the early 20th century, Britain had established its colonial control over a quarter of the world from Asia to Africa. Together with the spread, dozens of local versions of English dialects were also developed. Those dialects also added more words to the original English language. For example, the word "barbecue" came from the Carribean while "zombie" originated from Africa. Today, the English language is still developing and new vocabulary items are still being added to everyday English.
