ABSTRACT
The study tracks the historical development, present situation, and potential future of English as a global language in a world that is progressively becoming more interconnected. Once mostly connected to the British Empire, English has evolved beyond its colonial origins to become a universal language in fields like technology, business, education, and diplomacy. This study examines the sociocultural, technological, and economic elements that have contributed to its widespread use, highlighting how it promotes intercultural communication while posing issues with linguistic standardization and the marginalization of indigenous tongues. With an emphasis on regional variations like Indian English, Singlish, and Hinglish that represent regional identities and cultural quirks, the study also explores the adaptable nature of English. The study illustrates the advantages and difficulties of English’s worldwide domination through the analysis of case studies and statistical data. The study intends to add to the conversation about multilingualism, linguistic justice, and English’s future in a world growing more interconnected by the day.
