English is the main and first language of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. It derives from West Germanic languages family. It is estimated that 300 milion people speak English as a second language, and an additional 100 milion people use it fluently as a foreign language. As a rough estimate, one billion people around the world have some knowledge of English, either as a native language, as a second language, or as a foreign language. English was well established as the dominant language in North America in the 17th Century. But its rapid growth was in the 19th Century. Wilhelm von Humboldt (1768-1835) - German linguist, made the classification of languages, established three main groups of languages on structural grounds: · isolating (also analytic) · agglutinative (also agglutinating) · inflecting (also fusional) An isolating language is a language in which almost every word consists of a single morpheme. For typical examples of isolating languages is Chinese, especially in the archaic version, as well as Thai, Vietnamese and other languages of Southeast Asia. An isolating language tends also to be an analytic language, so that the terms isolating and analytic are often used interchangeably in linguistics. Languages insulating find in Africa and America, this type of approach to a number of Western European languages, especially English, in which there is little endings, and the function expression often depends in it is position in the sentence.

1. Ta ch§ fàn le. he eat food past ‘He ate the food.’

2. Ta ch§ le fàn. he eat past food ‘He ate the food.’

3. Júzi w4 ch§ le. orange I eat past ‘I ate the orange.’ This language shows syntactic and grammatical relationships without using infectional morphemes. In linguistics, agglutination is the morphological process of adding affixes to the base of a word. Languages that use agglutination widely are called agglutinative languages. These languages are often contrasted with fusional languages and isolating languages. However, both fusional and isolating languages may use agglutination in the most-often-used constructs, and use agglutination heavily in certain contexts, such as word derivation. This is the case in English, which is an isolating language, but has an agglutinated plural marker -(e)s and derived words such as shame·less·ness. Agglutinative suffixes are often inserted irrespective of syllabic boundaries, for example, by adding a consonant to the syllable coda as in English tie — ties. Native speakers of strongly agglutinating languages untrained in linguistics cannot usually break down an agglutinated word into its components. Agglutinative languages also have large inventories of enclitics, too, which can be and are separated from the word root by native speakers in daily usage.
