　　The development of the English language took a big step nine years before the death of William Shakespeare. Three small British ships crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1607. They landed in an area that would later become the southern American state of Virginia. They began the first of several British colonies(殖民地).

　　In time, people in these new colonies began to call areas of their new land by words borrowed from the native people they found living there. For example, many of the great rivers in the United States are taken from American Indian words. The Mississippi, the Tennessee, and the Missouri are examples.

　　Britain had other colonies in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and India. The English language also became part of these colonies. These colonies are now independent, but English is still one of the languages spoken there. And the English language grew as words from the native languages were added. For example, the word搒hampoow” for soap for the hair came from India. “Banana” is believed to be from Africa.
