English a Window on the World
“A window on the world”.
Language, so far as we know, is something specific to humans, that is to say it is the basic capacity that distinguishes humans from all other living beings. Language therefore remains potentially a communicative medium capable of expressing ideas and concepts as well as moods, feelings and attitudes.
A set of linguists who based their assumptions of language on psychology made claims that language is nothing but ‘habit formation’. According to them, language is learnt through use, through practice. In their view, ‘the more one is exposed to the use of language, the better one learns’.
Window is a security system for all, either for a house or for a computer. An open window Cannot solve the purpose rather a window with zigzag grills is more safe and useful for a house. Inspite of the intricacies of grammar ie. zigzag grills English has gained tremendous importance in the education system and economy .English has become a truly universal language “a window on the world”.

The French Language – a Languages of the World Primer
History and development
French is one of the many so-called Romance languages that grew out of “Vulgar Latin”. It is part of the linguistic subgroup known as Langue d’oil that developed in northern France in the middle ages. It differs from the other two main subgroups spoken in France, Langue d’oc (also known as Occitan) and Franco-Provencal spoken in southern France, in that it was heavily influenced by the Germanic languages brought in by the invading Franks.
In practical terms what we now know as modern French began to come to the fore following the 1539 Villers-Cotterêts Ordinance in which King Francis I made Parisian French the official State language. Whilst the expressly declared goal was to displace Latin, the knock-on effect on other regional French languages cannot have gone unnoticed. To this day, it is official French state policy to promote French to the detriment of the other regional languages. The proof of this is that despite the fact that France is a signatory to the European Charter for Regional Languages it cannot ratify it because to do so would contravene the current French constitution.
