Abstract

This article explores the influence of the English language on cultural identity in non-English-speaking societies. As English becomes increasingly dominant in education, media, and business, it can both enrich and challenge local traditions, languages, and values. The study discusses examples from various countries and suggests strategies for preserving cultural heritage while embracing global communication.

Keywords

English language, cultural identity, globalization, local traditions, multilingualism, language influence.
