The scope of English is immense and the results of a long and far-flung history. The speech of North America has fascinatingly distinct forms, from New Brunswick to New England to Georgia and from New York City to Toronto to San Francisco. Further variations are seen in the rest of the English-speaking world, from India to Jamaica and from Liverpool to Brisbane.
The many sources of English vocabulary
The primary purpose of these pages is to provide coverage of the many sources from which English has built up its now vast vocabulary. A great deal of our inherited word stock can be traced back to ancestral Indo-European, and there is further coverage of inherited words at Old English and Middle English. Many of our words also come from virtually every major language known in the world, from the past to the present: French words, Greek words, and Latin
A large variety of words are being prepared for your edification.
