Why are most major programming languages only in English?

<p>Programming languages provide people with the tools to address a variety of problems. Python, for example, is great for back end development and artificial intelligence. Javascript enables web developers to create dynamic and responsive web sites. R is used for statistical analysis. In spite of the great diversity in their purposes, syntax and supporting communities, these popular languages all share a common characteristic, their keywords are in American English.</p> <p>This fact is a result of historical and social processes that should not be left unquestioned. English is not, after all, the most spoken natural language in the world, nor has it always been a global language.
