Non-English-based programming languages

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Non-English-based programming languages are computer programming languages that, unlike better-known programming languages, do not use keywords taken from, or inspired by, the English vocabulary.

Prevalence of English-based programming languages[edit]

Further information: English in computing

There has been an overwhelming trend in programming languages to use the English language to inspire the choice of keywords and code libraries. According to the HOPL online database of languages,[1] out of the 8500+ programming languages recorded, roughly 2400 of them were developed in the United States, 600 in the United Kingdom, 160 in Canada, and 75 in Australia.

In other words, over a third of all programming languages were developed in a country with English as the primary language. This does not take into account the usage share of each language, situations where a language was developed in a non-English-speaking country but used English to appeal to an international audience (see the case of Python from the Netherlands, or Ruby from Japan), and situations where it was based on another language which used English (see the case of Caml, developed in France but using English keywords).

International programming languages[edit]

ALGOL 68's standard was published in numerous languages, and the standard allowed the internationalisation of the programming language itself.

On December 20, 1968, the "Final Report" (MR 101) was adopted by the Working Group, then subsequently approved by the General Assembly of UNESCO's IFIP for publication. Translations of the standard were made for Russian, German, French, Bulgarian, and then later Japanese. The standard was made available in Braille. ALGOL 68 went on to become the GOST/????-27974-88 standard in the Soviet Union.

• GOST 27974-88 Programming language ALGOL 68 - ???? ???????????????? ????? 68[2]
• GOST 27975-88 Programming language ALGOL 68 extended - ???? ???????????????? ????? 68 ???????????[3]

In English, Algol68's reverent case statement reads case ~ in ~ out ~ esac. In Cyrillic, this reads ??? ~ ? ~ ???? ~ ???.'''

english is the core and dominate most widly used of software, thus ruling class language for ever and ever amen u dumbazz pumpies... my god, i counld keep it back but u all so retrd cant see the forest thru the trees. its so obvious.

evofrikinlution, cant stop it... english is king and growing in use every bejesusday..... find something else to pump, like a credit card that gives u lotto numbers for every $1000 u spend on it....... i smell a winner! chaa ching bazzing ga eh yo/

Number of English language learners keeps on growing

Latest research from the British Council predicts that the number of people actively learning English around the world is set to exceed 1.9bn by 2020.

It is estimated that there are currently over 1 billion people learning English worldwide and this will double in a little over five years.

According to the British Council's research, there are approximately 750 million English as a foreign language speakers (EFL) and 375 million English as a Second Language speakers (ESL).

The difference between the EFL and ESL groups is that the former use English occasionally for business or pleasure, while English as a Second Language speakers use English on a daily basis.

Greater need for English language skills in the workplace

According to David Graddol, a linguist who has worked in applied linguistics, discourse analysis, sociolinguistics, and history of linguistics, the largest group of non-native English speakers do not necessarily need English to communicate with native English speakers, more likely they use English as common language with other non-native English speakers

Commenting on the British Council's report, he puts this down to the globalisation process in a growing number of companies, leading to workers increasingly having to communicate with colleagues in other countries, not just because their management line is international, but because they are implementing projects that impact their operations in different parts of the globe and involve multinational project teams. This means that workers in local offices increasingly find they need to communicate internationally.

The global demand for English learning is less likely to be from people looking to relocate to and English speaking country and more likely come from people who need to be able to communicate with a certain level of fluency - but not necessarily a high level of accuracy.
