English

English had barely established itself as a language in England when it began [moving:pushing] to other countries to be used there as well. First it [headed:flowed] north to Scotland and then west to Wales. It then made its [way:route] across the sea to Ireland. That was in the Middle Ages. Over the course of the following centuries it has put down roots all over the [world:globe] , from the USA to South Africa, from India to New Zealand. Of course. in all these [countries:states] , it has developed in special ways to suit the new [context:text] in which it found itself.
