Diasporic means something to spread out from its place of origin. As per dictionary diaspore means “a seed or spore that is dispersed from the source to far off places. Here English is the seed that has spread far and wide and in innumerable quantities and fast enriching in usage, value and indispensability. It has spread to the nook and corner of the world. Today it has reached myriad dimensions in nature and has become evergreen, voluminous, perennial, ever pervading etc.

There are many reasons for English to be diasporic. When the whole world was slowly passing through different phases, there was industrial revolution in England. The system of production changed from man made to machine made. There was rapid production of goods. Whatever they could sell in their markets they could sell. After that they could not. There came saturation in selling goods. They had a problem. The produced goods were piling in heaps in go-downs. The problem was either they had to close down industries to stop production or search for new markets, new customers. The industrialists had invested millions in those industries. Then they had a new idea. It was, why not to sell those goods in far places where people may not be having those types of goods. This was the first new situation when they had to coin new words for both industrial purpose and business purpose.

That idea changed the face of European countries. It was the beginning of the diffusion or diaspore of Europeans, their commodities,  and their innovative ideas  to the east. The great adventurists like Columbus, Marko polo, Amundsen, discovered sea routes to far off places. The concept that the Earth was flat was disproved by Mazilan. So the industrialized countries started their venture in search of new markets.

While establishing new markets, they had to learn the local languages. Words widely used were taken into English.

Eg., bungalow, almirah, mota, gully,

English words meeting the needs of day to day life were taken by the local people. Newly developed goods had no meaning in the local languages. So such English words were taken as they were into local languages.

Eg., time, engine, rail, road, ticket,

Later the Europeans entered politics. So they developed words related to politics. Then they started imperialism, colonialism, etc. For every act they had implemented, they had to coin new words and used them. The same words were used by those people as the Europeans used.

Research and development was started by them for better goods, machinery, architecture, inventions, etc. Thus the need for coining new words increased. Words were coined and brought into use wherever they ruled.

Thus spread out of European people, diffusion of their ideas, diaspore of English words    into the entire world had taken unimaginable dimensions.
