It belongs to the Indo-European language family and is closely related to German and Dutch. English has a diverse vocabulary and is known for its global influence as a lingua franca. It uses the Latin alphabet with modifications, including the addition of letters such as ð and þ in Old English. English features a complex phonetic system with a wide range of vowel and consonant sounds.
