British Council Announces Results of 70 Most Beautiful Words
Survey
British Council wanted a creative and fun way to celebrate our 70th
anniversary. British Council teachers in centres worldwide
organised classroom activities with over 7000 learners of English
to choose what they considered to be the 70 most beautiful words in
the English language.
We also ran an online poll in all non-English speaking country
websites in order to rank these 70 words and find the top ten. Over
35,000 visitors to our websites worldwide cast their votes.
Mother is the most beautiful word in the English language,
according to a survey of 42,000 learners of English round the
world.
The top ten are interesting, if a little short on surprises – the
more unexpected entries come further down the ranking. Who for
instance, could have predicted such entries as whoops in 56th place
or zing at 68?
Meanwhile, take a look at the full results bellow.
