word is hell old than any other word in English.

language progressed differently and in different cultures. i.e

(8). There is a word “Ough” which can be written and pronounced
in 9 different ways. Weird na? . Lets read this sentence below and then tell us
isn’t that fact a true one.

that more than 250 million People in US only have English as their primary
language.

have been many arguments regarding the fact that which is the longest sensible
and meaningful word in English. But now Oxford Modern English has stated “pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis”

English some words only exist in the plural forms, and amazingly some dont end

English has the most vocabulary and it contains more than 1 million terms which

incredibility of the English Language and can easily analyze thus that why is
English the most popular language on the planet we are living.
