‘Borrowed Words’-----good or bad?

Languages keep borrowing words from other languages. This is one of the reasons why languages keep changing every day. What we should do about ‘borrowed words’ is something people disagree about.

In England today, there is no one to decide which new words should be included in the language. A standard was first set for the English language when Henry Ⅶ was the King. That is how we have the phrase ‘the king’s English’. He set a standard for how people should speak English, but who can make a decision like that today is a question.

However, there is a department to make decisions like this in France. How French will be used is decided by a government department.

Today, the spread of ‘borrowed words’ is due to television and radio programmes from across the world, and the Internet. Some people feel that this spread is good, and others feel it makes languages less special. Which group you agree with is for you to decide.
