From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

can be defined as "the West Germanic language that is the official language of England and other many countries that have been under British influence or control". Modified forms of English are spoken over a wider area than this - for example, the 'Japanese English' spoken by Japanese speakers of English - and even an individual speaker's use of the language can be described as an 'English'.

This portal will be somewhat sketchy to begin with, but its aim is to base itself upon English Studies, including grammar, punctuation, factual English, speech, and more topics to be added and considered. It plans to be a source of information on English language and usage, and on other languages where applicable.
