A widely spoken natural language. Langauge code: en or eng

The official language of countries such as the Unitied Kingdom (en-uk), NewZealand (en-nz), and Australia (en-au), , English is also the one of the offical languages of the European Community, the United Nations, the International Standards Organisation (ISO) and #wlug. Besides it's offical capacity, English is also the default language of science, business and travel world-wide. It is spoken by millions of speakers as a second language and mangled by the Americans (en-us) ThisIsNotAmerica.

Many, maybe most, OpenSource projects use English as the primary language of communication, but most non-trivial projects (incluing this wiki) have valued contributors for whom English is a second langauge. Please do not assume that because someone is not a fluent speaker (or writer) of english that they do not have a valuable part to play in a project. In generally neither cluelessness nor cluefulness is dependent on the language in wihch it is expressed.
