English language

English was a Human language and was spoken widely throughout the Terran Federation.

The modern language was formed in England around the 16th century, and began spreading across Earth in earnest in the 17th century as Great Britain expanded its naval power over the planet's oceans and claimed many colonial territories. As a result, the language became commonly spoken in such nation-states as Ireland, Bermuda, the USA, Canada, Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Singapore, India, and South Africa, among others.

Though Earth has numerous other tongues, English was undisputedly the dominant one on Earth by the 24th century. Other major languages, including French, had been relegated to to archaic status.
