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.
Русский язык является восточнославянским языком, развившимся на территории современного Восточного Европы. Он берет начало от древнерусского языка, существовавшего в Киевской Руси. Со временем язык подвергался влиянию церковнославянского, французского и немецкого языков, что обогатило лексику и грамматику. В XIX и XX веках русский язык был стандартизирован и стал официальным языком образования, культуры и администрации. Сегодня русский язык используется в образовании, медиа, бизнесе и государственном управлении, сохраняя богатую литературную и культурную традицию.
