| rdfs:comment | - Federation Standard English, also variously known as Standard, Galacta, Anglish, or English, was the primary lingua franca of the United Federation of Planets. It was a derivative of Earth's English language with the incorporation of a number of loan words and concepts from major species in the Federation. As such it was at heart a West Germanic language with considerable influence from Romance languages, particularly French and Spanish. Its becoming the primary language of the Federation was due in large part to humanity's spearheading the Federation's formation.

Learning Federation Standard English was encouraged but not required for Federation government officials, foreign diplomats, and enlistees and cadets in Starfleet, largely because it made getting around on Earth easier by not having to rely on a universal translator.
