English was a useful tool whose flexibility ensured acceptance and longevity of usage

 Truth to tolerance to terminologies taking tall tasks to turn temptations to totally turn towards top thoughts , things, technologies tuck trace to T.

There are a few things that have had a greater acceptance, spread and longevity due to various reasons. 

In this, acceptance and longevity of usage implies something or perhaps many things inherently interesting, important and easy to adopt. 

English language is one such, it does not mean it is the best or most perfect or more beautiful and expressive than the rest.

My views towards the West in general are ambivalent because of their colonial loot, wrongs and wrecking of civilizations ( which were vulnerable and allowed to get wrecked). 

However, a few things like their exploration of resources in far off lands, landing their version of planned institutionalisation, institutionalised imparting of knowledge, knowledge preserved for posterity through documentation, documenting whatever were advantageous to hegemonize and to homogenise, homogenising through colonialism etc had to use certain tools and those tools were constantly subjected to fin​e tuning to deliver the results. 

The English language was one such tool. If they had to travel and conquer far off lands as well as interact to loot or to rule. 

They could not have carried on only with invasions and killing forever nor could they have wasted their time and resources trying to learn the native languages wherever they went, but had to communicate to know the whole depth and breadth of culture, civilization and resources. 

So, they kept imposing their lingo in many places and to do that they had to make sure the language was  flexible and sound pleasing and logical  to many. 

This, one among the good things that the English did was imposing their language with rewards. 

The Portuguese and the French could not do that because they refused to be flexible in their language. 

There have been lots of books and researches in the English Alphabet. The best among them is a brief but comprehensive one. 

Euphonics: a Poet's Dictionary of Sounds (Paperback)By (author) John Michell

 

 I am giving below samples for two letters ‘B’ and ‘M’ in Euphonic from this book

Alphabet ‘B’

‘B’ the shape of B can be described as double or binary. It is an oval squashed into two bulges, like the bi-focal spectacles and the ‘b’’ sound is predominant in the names both proper and vulgar, given to the bipartite bulges of the body: bust, bosom, breasts, boobs, bubs, bums, buttocks, butt, base, beam, bottom backside.

A bull has balls or bollocks, and a beer-bobber grows a big belly like a tub, barrel or bloated bladder.

An image evoked by the B sound is of balloons blown up near to bursting. They are broad, bluff, burly, obese, bulging, bulbous, burgeoning, billowing, blooming, blubbery blimps. These bouncing orbs attract adjectives bounty: blessed, benevolent, benign, abundant, bland, buttery.

But bulbous bubbles also have the sound of bumptious bullies, who are :bold, brash, brazen, bothersome, beefy, brawny, bellicose, brutal bigots or bossy blunders, given to brawling, blustering blundering, squabbling, slobbering, blubbering, biffing, bashing, brow-beating, butting, bumping and boring. Bucolic and flabby, they boom, bawl, bray, bleat and belly-act and are bombastic, boastful, braggarts, babbling bullshit blah-blah and balderdash.

The brutal bluster of a blundering buffoon is the type of energy expressed by a big bill as broad as a barrel of beer. At bruising and boozing he hadn’t a peer. A burly club bouncer he drubbed one and all until clobbered and bashed in a brutal pub brawl.

Alphabet ‘M’

‘M’ the double-arched shape of the letter ‘m’ in the its mother’s eyebrows and breasts is the first pattern to be experienced by an infant, and its first sound is likely to be murmured, muttered M, which seems a natural symbol of mammals and maternity. Mother is mild, merciful, mollifying and mollycoddling. Her home is humble but warm and comfortable as the womb. Sometimes it is moderately merry and mirthful, yet home can become monotonous, hum-drum and gloomy. Making one morose, miserable mean, melancholy, mournful, moody, mosey, dim, grim and glum,

The association between the cycles of women and the moon that measures the month has caused these words in many languages to be dominated by the ‘M’ sound. Under the moon occur mysteries, romances, marvels, miracles, magic and the mantic arts, stimulating imagination or madness and monomania.

The ‘M’ sound evokes images of the dark, mysterious aspect of the female spirit, such as the mystic moon-maiden, the Madonna .....
