In the light of Kachru's model of English Language in the late 20th century. This model has three circles, inner circle, where English is used as native language, Outer Circle, mostly former colonies of British Empire, such as Singapore, India, Kenya, Ghana, Malaysia, Pakistan and others, and 3rd is Expanding Circle, include countries in which English is known as Foreign Language in schools and universities, mostly for communication and business or economic purposes as well with Inner and Outer circles. The term "English language" refers to various interesting and notable features, patterns, or aspects of the English language. These phenomena can encompass a wide range of linguistic phenomena, including grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, syntax, idioms, and more. English holds significant importance around the world because English is the most widely spoken language globally. It serves as a common language of communication among people from different linguistic backgrounds. Proficiency in English enables individuals to connect with a broader range of people, both in personal and professional contexts. English is the language of international business and economics as well. It facilitates global trade, negotiations, and collaboration between companies and individuals from different countries. Proficiency in English enhances employability and career opportunities, particularly in multinational corporations and industries with international reach. It recognizes the importance of both native and non-native varieties of English and acknowledges that each circle has its own linguistic norms, purposes, and language development. The study informs us that Kachru was an original thinker not in the field of English Language including applied linguistics, multilingualism, bilingualism, language policy, language creativity, code mixing, code switching, cross-cultural communication, sociolinguistics but also in the domain of politics of language and so many other issues including cross-cultural awareness.

Introduction The history of the English language spans over 1,500 years, involves various stages of development, and influences from different languages and cultures. Here is an overview of the major periods in the history of English: The old English (450-1100) language originated from the Germanic dialects brought to Britain by the Anglo-Saxons, who migrated from what is now Germany and Denmark. Old English was characterized by a complex inflectional system and a vocabulary primarily based on Germanic roots. Influences from Latin, Celtic, and Norse languages also played a role. The Middle English (1100-1500) Norman Conquest of England in 1066 by the Normans, who spoke Old Norman (a variety of Old French), marked a significant turning point in the history of English. This led to the infusion of French vocabulary and influences on the English language. Middle English evolved as a blend of Old English and Old French, with a simplified grammar structure and an expanded vocabulary. The printing press, introduced in England called Early Modern English (1500-1700) in the late 15th century, played a vital role in standardizing the English language. During this period, English underwent significant changes in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. The Renaissance and the Reformation also contributed to the growth of the English vocabulary through borrowing from Latin and Greek. However, modern English (1700-present) emerged in the 18th century and has continued to evolve up to the present day. It is characterized by the rise of British colonialism, global exploration, and industrialization, leading to extensive borrowing of words from various languages worldwide. The standardization of English grammar and the spread of English- speaking communities worldwide, particularly through British colonization and the dominance of the British Empire, have significantly influenced the development of Modern English. In recent centuries, the English language becomes most speaking language in around the world just like USA. It is global reach, technological advancements, and its role as a lingua franca in various domains such as business, science, and diplomacy mark Modern English. Throughout its history, English has absorbed words from other languages, with estimates suggesting that about 60% of its vocabulary is derived from Latin, French, and other languages. This linguistic diversity has contributed to the richness and adaptability of the English language as it continues to evolve and adapt to the needs of its speakers in the modern world. The English language plays a crucial role around the globe due to its widespread use and international significance. Here are some key roles and importance of the English language: English serves as a lingua franca, enabling people from different countries and linguistic backgrounds to communicate with one another effectively. It acts as a common language for business, diplomacy, tourism, and academia. English is the dominant language of international business and commerce. It is used for negotiations, contracts, and communication between companies and individuals from different countries. Proficiency in English enhances opportunities for employment and career advancement in multinational corporations. Meanwhile, English is the primary language used in higher education and research worldwide. Many of the world's top universities offer programs in English, attracting international students and facilitating collaboration among scholars from diverse backgrounds. Additionally, the majority of scientific literature, research papers, and academic resources are published in English. 1 PhD Scholar at Dept of English, USKT, University of Sialkot, Punjab, Pakistan, aqeelpk786@yahoo.com 2 Assistant Professor, Department of English, USKT, University of Sialkot, Punjab, Pakistan, sajid.waqar@uskt.edu.pk 3 PhD Scholar at Dept of English, USKT, University of Sialkot, Punjab, Pakistan, samrinamajeed971@gmail.com 4 MS Scholar at Dept of English, USKT, University of Sialkot, Punjab, Pakistan, samiakiran92@gmail.com
