English as lingua franca


Some languages, often called auxiliary languages, are used primarily as a second language or lingua franca. A lingua franca goes beyond the boundaries of its original community and is use as a second language for communication among communities. A language may be important as a lingua franca in a country or region whose diverse population would otherwise be unable to communicate; it is the mixture between two or more languages to create one of common agreement. The most correct term is the auxiliary language that is the language use between some speakers with different mother language. For instance, this is especially true in the former colonies of England and France whose colonial languages have remained indispensable even after independence. French and English are both languages of wider, and yet the changing positions of the two languages in international affairs during the past century illustrate the extent to which the status of a language depends on extralinguistic factors. Also, lingua franca is known as a vehicular language because it is a language that anybody uses for a common understand among people when the mother tongue is different. Acceptance may be caused by mutual agreement or political, economic, etc.
