1 :
English ends up being the default exchange of language, - just like the dollar is the default currency between a lot of nations.
2 :
England use to at one time rule a good portion of the world and it is a leftover from that era. It is spoken almost everywhere.
3 :
english is important because its the main language you learn
4 :
I don't know why, considering the most common languages in the world is Chinese and Indian because they take up a considerable amount of the worlds population.
5 :
English is widely learned all over the world. In fact, the largest English speaking nation is India. English is also commonly referred to as the "Business" language,and many countries use it to discuss business terms (The Philippines' national language is tagalog, but they use english in courthouses and the like). English is quickly becoming the Universal language, and while some people claim Chinese is the largest language, Chinese is seperated into hundreds of different dialects all indistinguishable from each other. In effect, people who live on city away from each other in china, who both speak chinese, cant understand each other. English is not like that. It doesn't matter where you learn your english, you can expect to understand even the thickest accents to 75% accuracy.
6 :
Because we talk almost everywhere and is the simplest. I am Italian and I live in Italy and I must say that compared to Italian, there is an abyss. The fact is that the British make more effort to learn our language because it is complicated .... but I know
7 :
Because English is considered to be a 'lingua franca' (world language). It is the third most spoken language in the world after Chinese and Arabic with over 350 million native speakers around the world. It is the most studied second language and the main language of international institutions such as the EU, UN and NATO. Many educational institutions also use English to teach their students rather than relying on their native languages. Books, magazines and newspapers in English are available in most countries around the world. These are just some of the reasons why English is such an important language in today's world.

Can you recommend a good local tour group for Inner Mongolia

Can you recommend a good local tour group for Inner Mongolia?
I live in Shenyang, China and would like to go to Inner Mongolia on Oct 1-5 2010. I'm looking for one that does lots of activities such as horse/camel riding and entertainment such as wrestling. All I could find online are expensive. Maybe a local tour company would be cheaper. Thanks!

What country did the Cherokees live in before they came to North America

What country did the Cherokees live in before they came to North America?
I'm Cherokee and I know nothing about my heritage. I understand that Native Americans crossed the Baring Strait when it was still dry land but what country did the Cherokee tribe live in before the trip across the strait? China? Japan? Mongolia? Russia? Any historical or possibly medical/scientific information is welcomed. I'm rewording my details. I'm Cherokee but I didn't grow up learning about my heritage. Since the Native Americans came here over the Bering Strait, what modern Asian people are they most related to?

I'm wondering how it's possible to "be Cherokee" and "know nothing about" your heritage. How is that possible?
2 :
There was no formal "country" at that time. The area they came from would become Russia.
3 :
They crossed the Bering Strait thousands of years ago and where they came from is irrelevant, because they were probably from different places. Human being originated from Africa and the Homo Erectus was the species that migrated outside of Africa. That's probably around when they came to America. Countries didn't exist back then, so it's impossible to say where they were from exactly
4 :
I'm cherokee and i know a lot about your heritage, so if you E-mail me i will send you some info here kibibetunda@yahoo.com, thank you.
5 :
The continants had well divided before the Native Americans were even identified. Pre-Historic man roamed first. North America has not much changed since its discovery. As man developed, over the thousands of years, the different tribes were formed. The different countries you list didn't exist back then. The Cherokee lived nowhere besides north america.

You will find the answer to your rather enigmatic question if you pay 99 bucks for the National Geographic's genographic kit at https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/participate.html ... good luck. I plan to participate soon.
7 :
they basically came across the bearing strait. Asia and Siberia. i one of my great great aunts was a cherokee indian. It pretty weird but i and a couple of my family members have her traits.
8 :
Nearly all Native Americans crossed the land-bridge from northern asian continent from what is now called Russia. It would be fascinating to do DNA testing to finally establish which area they are most closely related and to which blood-line they can be traced. I rather doubt if you could actually trace to country-specific blood lines. Let me be as specific as one can be at this point in time: Asian/Mongoloid. In South American tribes I would suspect that there is a strong Polynesian influence although the proof would be in the DNA there, too.
9 :
we aren't from asia. but people will say we are so they can feel better about all the deceit and bloodshed used to take this land from us. there is no proof...in fact there is more proof that we are right from north america. sorry to disappoint.
10 :
siyo! Although many have said that native peoples came across to here from other places, they have really no proof. Evidence is found more and more that "pushes" the date of the "arrival" of the native peoples to this continent farther and farther "back". My elders taught me this... our Creator Unehlanvhi created us and put us HERE. We were made for and of this land. We are not immigrants. We were not exiled here. We were not displaced. It is our homeland and we have ALWAYS been here. It is often those who wish to displace us that state that we "came" here. As for DNA-- there is absolutely NO reliable DNA testing for a patrilineal blood line for Cherokees and the matrilineal one is suspect too. I don't recommend it. Its a waste of money at this point because the technology just is not "there" yet.
