Routes Of English: Whose English Is It Anyway? (Series 4, Programme 6) Audiolivro

With English now hailed on all sides as the world's first 'global' language and the preferred medium of expression from United Biscuits to the United Nations, Melvyn Bragg meets people - like former Dome supremo P.Y. Gerbeau - for whom talking English is the most natural way to speak, yet who didn't absorb it with their mother's milk. Also taking part are experts from across the world who reveal that the future shape and grammar of spoken English will no longer be determined in the traditional English-speaking countries like Britain and America, but in Europe, Africa and the Far East.
