English language Definition

(from Wikipedia)




to what had then become Middle English. The Great Vowel
Shift that began in the south of England in the 15th century is one of the
historical events that mark the emergence of Modern English from Middle English.

Owing to the assimilation of words from many other languages throughout history,
modern English contains a very large vocabulary. Modern English has not only
assimilated words from other European languages but also from all over the
world, including words of Hindi and African origin. The [[Oxford English
Dictionary]] lists over 250,000 distinct words, not including many technical,
scientific, and slang terms.

Open Question: Making up a language for a book I'm writing?
Hey guys , I'm trying to write a futuristic sci-fi book, & I need to make up some sort of language. Not an entire language, just like names for buildings, creatures, important objects, other species, etc. How do I start? I'd like it to still use letter from the English alphabet, but be arranged differently. I know my question doesn't exactly make sense, but if anyone could help me, that'd be great. Even throw in some random words that I could use. Thanks! :)
