Интересные факты об английском языке

🇬🇧Великобритания и США🇺🇸

В языковой сфере между этими странами наблюдаются довольно туманные отношения. В период борьбы за независимость и строительства молодого американского государства предпринимались попытки придумать свой собственный американский язык, в чём особенно преуспел Ноа Уэбстер (Noah Webster), издавший свой «Американский словарь английского языка». А в штате Иллинойс до 1969 года существовал закон, запрещающий говорить на английском. В качестве официального языка этого штата предписывалось использовать американский язык. Впрочем, в настоящее время в США исследователи выделяют целых 24 диалекта английского языка. Неудивительно, что издателям пришлось переводить книги о Гарри Поттере с английского на американский.

🔠Буквы

▪️Чаще всего в английском языке используется буква E, а реже всего — Q.

▪️Все знают, что буквы в английском языке могут произноситься совершенно по-разному. Вот наглядный пример: He believed Caesar could see people seizing the seas(Он верил, что Цезарь видел людей, захватывающих моря). В этом предложении звук /i:/ передаётся семью разными буквосочетаниями.

▪️Английский алфавит когда-то насчитывал на одну букву больше. Этой буквой был символ &.

▪️Если убрать последние четыре буквы в слове queue (очередь), то его произношение не изменится.

One morning, a man and his dog Storm were taking a walk in Long Island, New York. The golden retriever saw a drowning fawn in the sea.

The dog jumped into the sea and pulled the fawn to safety. It then tried to bring it back to life by touching it with its nose and mouth.

The dog’s owner, who is a lawyer, filmed the whole incident on his phone. The fawn went to an animal rescue centre, and now it is getting better.

Difficult words: drown (get hurt or die because you cannot swim), fawn (a young deer), incident (an event)
