English, the language of the Nobel Laureates, has become the most prestigious modern language. A few words of great authorities cited below will motivate the foreign learners and provide a lot of enthusiasm to learn the language with speed.Randolph Quirk’s words “English is a language on which the sun does not set, whose users never sleep“ have been proved beyond doubt. As far as English is concerned “The native speaker is dead”.
Otto Jesperson praised the language as “the Linguistic sum mum bonum”. He portrayed it as “methodical, energetic, business like, sober, noble, rich, pliant, expressive, interesting, masculine, the language of the grown up man with very little childish or feminine about it. Monosyllabism and onomatopoeic words provide it much richness and good sense”.
