English is a West Germanic language that originated in medieval England, evolving from the Anglo-Frisian dialects brought by Germanic invaders in the 5th century. Old English developed into Middle English following the Norman Conquest in 1066, incorporating a significant number of French loanwords. Early Modern English emerged in the 15th century, influenced by the Renaissance, the invention of the printing press, and standardization of spelling and grammar. Over time, English spread globally through colonization, trade, and cultural influence, becoming the lingua franca of international communication, science, and business. Today, English is spoken by hundreds of millions as a first language and by billions as a second language, with diverse dialects and rich literary, scientific, and cultural traditions.
El català és una llengua romànica que es va desenvolupar a la regió nord-est de la Península Ibèrica a partir del llatí vulgar que van portar els romans. Durant l’edat mitjana, el català es va consolidar com a llengua de cultura, literatura i comerç a la Corona d’Aragó. Al llarg dels segles, el català ha estat influït per l’occità, el castellà i altres llengües veïnes, però ha mantingut una identitat pròpia. Durant períodes de repressió política, l’ús del català va ser limitat, però a partir del segle XX ha experimentat una revitalització en educació, mitjans i administració pública. Avui en dia, el català és parlat per milions de persones a Catalunya, Andorra, el País Valencià i les Illes Balears, conservant un ric patrimoni literari i cultural i sent un component central de la identitat catalana.
