These words didn´t existed in the old English, but they had been incorporated and are now commonly used in the day by day language of native English speakers, and they are learn by 418 million of people now a days.

The rise of the British empire brought the English to the world, but today it remains as a powerful language with being the most popular language, under the Chinese, in the world. It is spoken in the most recondite places on earth and it would still be the predominant language in the world.
