English (as a Language) was gaining a foothold in the church the court and in politics...

English is considered a universal language due to several factors: its widespread use as a first and second language globally, its use as a common language in international business, politics, and academia, and the influence of English-speaking countries in media and culture. This makes English a practical choice for communication between speakers of different native languages.

The English language became the universal language primarily due to the historical expansion of the British Empire and later the influence of the United States as a global superpower. English is widely used in international business, politics, and entertainment, making it the dominant language for communication between people of different native languages worldwide.

English is considered an international language because it is widely spoken and understood around the world. It is commonly used in business, politics, entertainment, and other global platforms, making it a common language of communication between people from different countries and cultures.
