Alasan Bahasa Inggris menjadi Bahasa Internasional

Mencoba mengetikkan sesuai judul post ini “alasan bahasa inggris menjadi bahasa internasional” di google, dan hasilnya ditemukan banyak posting baik di blog , forum, yahoo answer atau google tanya jawab yang ternyata juga membahas masalah ini.
Menurut jokojowo di dalam blognya disebutkan bahwa alasan dari pertanyaan mengapa diatas adalah :
  1. Bahasa inggris merupakan bahasa tertua yang ada di dunia dan berasal dari dataran britania (sekitar abad ke 8)
  • Perkembangan kosa kata yang sangat pesat menurut tim riset gabungan peneliti Havard University dan Google mencatat penambahan kosa kata bahasa tertua di dunia itu mencapai 8.500 kata pertahun.
  • Sementara dari google tanya jawab menyebutkan :
    1. Karena dlu inggris merupakan kerajaan yang besar dan aktif melakukan pencarian dataran-dataran baru… lalu menjajahnya dan memperkenalkan bahasa inggris, sehingga banyak negara menggunakan bahasa inggris. So, dijadikanlah bahasa internasional
    2. karena inovasi dan penyebaran ilmu pengetahuan banyak yg dari barat, ilmuwan2, essay2, invention, innovation. dulu juga berlaku begitu ketika dunia keilmuan dikuasai arab > bahasa arab, latin > bahasa latin, yunani dan seterusnya. nah sekarang ini memang eranya dunia barat yg mayorritas berbahasa Inggris.
    Jika dilihat dari alasan jokojowo rasanya bahasa Inggris bukanlah bahasa tertua melainkan bahasa arab. Wikipedia menyebutkan bahwa :
    1. Bahasa Arab telah memberi banyak kosakata kepada bahasa lain dari dunia Islam, sama seperti peranan Latin kepada kebanyakan bahasa Eropa. Semasa Abad Pertengahan bahasa Arab juga merupakan alat utama budaya, terutamanya dalam sains, matematik adan filsafah, yang menyebabkan banyak bahasa Eropa turut meminjam banyak kosakata dari bahasa Arab.
    2. Seperti dengan bahasa Eropa lain, banyak kata-kata Inggris diserap dari bahasa Arab, selalunya melalui bahasa Eropa lainnya, terutama dari Spanyol dan Italia, di antaranya kosakata harian seperti “gula” (sukkar), “kapas” (qu?n) atau “majalah” (makhzen). Kata-kata lain yang sangat terkenal misalnya “aljabar”, “alkohol” dan “zenith”.
    3. Ada yang bisa bantu jumlah kosa kata bahasa arab?
    Setelah membaca link demi link dari hasil pencarian google beberapa jawaban yang rasanya masih masuk akal adalah :
    1.  Bahasa Inggris bisa menyebar karena pengaruh politik dan imperialisme Inggris dengan pepatah Inggris zaman dahulu yang menyebut Imperium Britania (British Empire) adalah tempat “Matahari yang tidak pernah terbenam” (“where the sun never sets”).
    2.  Bahasa Inggris adalah yang digunakan oleh Amerika Serikat. karena AS menang perang dunia 2, dan kemudian terjadi perang dingin yang secara de facto dimenangkan oleh AS, sehingga negara-negara lain secara otomastis harus mengikuti bahasa mereka, Bahasa Inggris.

    Lirik Avenged SevenFold Seize The Day

    Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
    It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

    I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
    But I'm too young to worry
    These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past

    I found you here, now please just stay for a while
    I can move on with you around
    I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?
    I'd do anything for a smile, holding you 'til our time is done
    We both know the day will come, but I don't want to leave you

    I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
    But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

    Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
    It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

    Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
    No longer needed here so where do we go?
    Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?
    But girl, what if there is no eternal life?




    I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
    But I'm too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

    Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
    It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

    Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
    Please tell me what we have is real

    So, what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again?
    Woooaaah, so I never want to leave you and the memories for us to see
    I beg don't leave me

    Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
    It's empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

    Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don't wanna die alone without you here
    Please tell me what we have is real

    (Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day)
    I stand here alone
    Falling away from you, no chance to get back home

    Lirik Avenged SevenFold Almost Easy

    Lirik Avenged SevenFold Almost Easy

    I feel insane every single time
    I'm asked to compromise
    Cause I'm afraid and stuck in my ways
    And that's the way it stays
    So how long did I expect love to outweigh ignorance?
    By that look on your face I may have forced the scale to tip

    I'm not insane, I'm not insane
    I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane

    (Mother)
    Come back to me, it's almost easy
    (Said it all)
    Come back again, it's almost easy

    Shame pulses through my heart
    From the things I've done to you
    It's hard to face, but the fact remains
    That this is nothing new

    I left you bound and tied with suicidal memories
    Selfish beneath the skin
    But deep inside I'm not insane.

    I'm not insane, I'm not insane.
    I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane.

    (Mother)
    Come back to me, it's almost easy
    (Said it all)
    Come back again, it's almost easy
    (You'll learn your lesson)
    Come back to me, it's almost easy
    (But first you fall)
    Come back again, it's almost easy

    Now that I've lost you it kills me to say
    (Hurts to say)
    I've tried to hold on as you've slowly slipped away.
    I'm losing the fight.
    I've treated you so wrong, now let me make it right.
    (Make it all right)

    I'm not insane, I'm not insane. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
    I'm not insane, I'm not - not insane.

    (Mother)
    Come back to me, it's almost easy
    (Said it all)
    Come back again, it's almost easy
    (You'll learn your lesson)
    Come back to me, it's almost easy
    (But still you fall)
    Come back again, it's almost easy

    Dragged ya down below, down to the devils show,
    To be his guest forever (Peace of mind is less than never!)
    Hate to twist your mind, but God ain't on your side,
    An old acquaintance severed (burn the world your last endeavor!)

    And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
    Oooooh, it's your fuckin' nightmare!
    (While your nightmare comes to life)

    Can't wake up in sweat, cause it ain't over yet,
    still dancin' with your demons (Victim of your own creation)
    Beyond the will to fight, where all that's wrong is right
    Where hate don't need a reason (loathing self-assassination)

    You've been lied to just to rape you of your site,
    and now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel (feel)
    So sedated as they medicate your brain
    and while you slowly go insane the tell ya:
    Given with the best intentions help you with your complications!

    They took for granted your soul, and it's ours now to steal
    (As your nightmare comes to life!)

    You should have known the price of evil,
    And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah.
    No one to call, everybody to fear,
    Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah
    Oooooh, it's your fucking nightmare!

    Lirik Avenged SevenFold Dear God

    Lirik Avenged SevenFold Dear God

    A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
    Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
    While I recall all the words you spoke to me
    Can't help but wish that I was there
    Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

    Dear God the only thing yo yeah
    I ask of you is
    to hold her when I'm not around
    when I'm much too far away
    We all need that person who can be true to you
    But I left her when I found her
    And now I wish I'd stayed
    'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
    I'm missing you again oh no
    Once again

    There's nothing here for me on this barren road
    There's no one here while the city sleeps
    and all the shops are closed
    Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
    Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

    Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
    to hold her when I'm not around
    when I'm much too far away
    We all need that person who can be true to you
    I left her when I found her
    And now I wish I'd stayed
    'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
    I'm missing you again oh no
    Once again

    Some search, never finding a way
    Before long, they waste away
    I found you, something told me to stay
    I gave in, to selfish ways
    And how I miss someone to hold
    when hope begins to fade...

    A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
