Exploring the English language
English is a West Germanic language that developed in early medieval England and has since become the world’s most widely used lingua franca.
It is spoken by more than 1.4 billion people worldwide, with more second-language speakers than native speakers, making it the most studied and most geographically widespread language in the world.
Today, English is an official or co-official language in 57 sovereign states and 30 dependent territories, and serves as one of the official languages of the United Nations, European Union and many other international organisations. It is the dominant language of diplomacy, academia, science, technology, trade, aviation, entertainment and the internet.
Around 60% of its vocabulary derives from Latin and Romance languages, while its grammar and core words remain Germanic in origin.
English exists in many global varieties. British English and American English are the two most prominent standards, each with distinct spelling, vocabulary and stylistic preferences. Beyond these, there are widely recognised forms in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India and beyond, reflecting English’s role as a language of international communication.
For organisations, this means English translation, interpreting and editing require careful consideration of which variety of English best suits the target audience.
At Wolfestone, we match every project to native English linguists who ensure your content is not only accurate but also tailored to the expectations of your readers.
English editing & proofreading
At Wolfestone, we also provide professional editing and proofreading for English content, even if it wasn’t created or translated by us.
Our native English editors refine grammar, spelling, tone and style to make sure your content is clear, accurate and publication-ready.
This is especially valuable for:
-
Documents written by non-native English speakers.
-
Content produced in one variety of English that needs adapting to another (e.g. American to British English).
-
Academic papers, business reports, marketing materials and technical manuals that require polished presentation.
Content created by generative AI
Content translated by AI
Every proofreading project is handled under our ISO 9001 and ISO 17100 certifications, ensuring rigorous quality assurance and confidentiality.
Whether you need light proofreading or in-depth editing, we tailor our service to your requirements and audience.
