English is spoken by one out of every six people in the world. It is the primary language of the United States, Australia, the U.K., and the anglophone territories of Canada, making it second only to Mandarin Chinese in number of speakers. English belongs to the Germanic branch of the Indo-European family of languages.... The great number of words found in the English vocabulary is in large part due to extensive borrowings from other languages, including Latin, French, Low German, and the Scandinavian languages.Read More

Colin, I think you're probably right about that. Thanks for the correction. I thought "поезд идёт" without a destination could also mean "the train is coming" but now I'm not so certain.
