French was an important international language in modem history after France became a power in Europe. French became not only the language of high society in many European countries but also the language used in international business and diplomacy. With the rising of England, English, at first, became the lingua franca within its own nation, and later became an international language. It took a long time before it could replace French as the international language. Since the 20th century, the development of USA has sped up the spread of English, helped maintain its position and made English the global language. |
