Compare this to the Arab conquests where the Arabs spread their language from China to Morocco.

What the fuck are you talking about? Half their language is English loanwords. Load up any tech video ever.

But most of those countries speak english as a second language.

This is because in Spanish and Arab conquests the Spanish and Arabs moved to the countries and formed a class that became part of the society, with that control they spread the language and religion to the underclass, the British colonization was more of setting up puppets that are engineered to accomplish British interests, that was more successful and required less maintenance for their goal of economic extraction.

The same Imperial system is still roughly intact because most of the countries on the world map have been drawn up by brits, the system functions through international law and IMF and similar organizations, the Americans control that empire now.

How the fuck do Indians speak English? nobody can understand a word they say and that's one of the biggest complaints against them from Brits, Americans and Canadians that even when they learn English no one can understand them. As for Indians in India itself then English is non existent, look at any Youtuber that visits India, he has to search forever to find someone to translate.

So what if they have English loanwords? The Iranians have a language with tons of Arabic loanwords but if i said Farsi is a dialect of Arabic you'd rip my head off and say "no actually it's a totally different language with no commonalities", so having loan words means nothing. Tech videos are all in Hindi so no idea what you're talking about.

in other words, the arabs and the spanish imported their society and culture wholesale, while the british merely imported their political and economic system
