LEADIN
As the British Prime Minister works to disentangle the UK from the European Union, the one legacy the country will likely leave to Europe if it does exit the EU is its own language.
EU officials expect English to remain in the EU as the most popular language and most commonly used tool for EU officials to communicate and make decisions.
STORYLINE
Take a look around Brussels and the British influence and language can be felt everywhere.
From Irish and English pubs showing live games to the British bookshop chain Waterstones.
But mostly here at the European Parliament - these translators spend their days making sure the work of MEPs can be carried out proficiently.
They're part of the 270-strong full-time interpreters team and simultaneous translators at the EU legislative body covering meetings in Strasbourg and Brussels.
The interpreters shuttle with natural ease between one of the 24 official languages of the EU and another, from Czech to French, from Polish to Spanish, from Latvian to Danish, from Italian to Swedish.
In a testament to its own linguistic diversity, every day documents, news, facts and figures about the Union are painstakingly translated into all official languages.
This is to allow all European citizens to actively participate in the institution and become a parliament member if they so wish, even if they don't speak any foreign languages.
English is the most spoken language in the EU, according to EU Parliament data - 38 per cent of EU citizens speak English while only 12 per cent of citizens speak French, the Union's second language, followed by German (11 per cent) and Spanish (7 per cent).
While all the EU official languages are considered equally important the hegemony of English is undeniable – and that's unlikely to change if Britain leaves the EU.
As Jaume Duch, the EU Parliament Spokesperson explains, English is not only the language of the UK.
"English is one of the official languages of the European Union. There are 24 of these languages. All the languages with the same rights because they are all spoken by the citizens and the citizens all have the same rights, including this right to speak and to understand their own languages. And then it's also true that English is not only an official language because of the United Kingdom, it is also because of Ireland and because of Malta. So the British will maybe leave the European Union but English will stay."
The Republic of Ireland's official languages are Irish Gaelic and English while Malta's list includes Maltese and English.
But the permanence of Shakespeare's language in the Union also stems from a very practical consideration.
English, which became an official EU language when Britain joined the Union in 1973, is the most used language by MEPs in their daily interactions. And it's in English that discussions and decisions about the future of the Union are conducted, much more than in any other language.
"English, of course, is the most spoken language – I would say - at an unofficial stage in the European institutions. Most of the staff of European institutions speak English or are able to speak English," Duch explains.
"Many members of the European Parliament who are not British themselves can also speak English and it's evident when you are in the corridors or in the rooms or in the meetings of the European Parliament; you can see that many, many of these members are using English to discuss, to negotiate, to do their own work and this is not going to change," the EU Parliament spokesman says.
In addition, English is a working tool. Without English as a go-between it would be hard for an Italian and a Latvian, for instance, to understand each other and talk about complex policy issues.
The future between Britain and the EU is unclear.
But English speakers at this regular Anglican Sunday Service in Brussels will continue to pray in their mother tongue.
And as Duch adds, during multilingual EU meeting it's impossible for interpreters – although skilled in several languages – to make all possible combinations in all 24 languages.
"For example, if you have to translate a document from Estonian to Greek maybe there are no translators who can do that in a direct way so this will be translated first from Estonian to English or to German or to French and then from these languages to Greek. This is what we call a relay language," the EU Parliament spokesman says.
Still, the EU prides itself on its linguistic diversity. So much so that every year a full-day event is dedicated to all its languages.
Hosted at the EU Parliament in Brussels, Multilingualism Day is a chance for visitors to see how two dozen languages are used and translated into one another on a daily basis.
This year the event took place on 28 September and included interactive games, mock interpretation booths and workshops.
Multilingualism Day attracted large crowds, many of them young women and men.
Awa Faye, a student from Italy on an Erasmus programme in Belgium is one of them. Faye is studying to become an interpreter.
She says as a "lingua franca" English bridges different linguistic communities and allows them to communicate with each other.
"So I think it would be difficult to remove a language that has such solid roots within the whole European community. (English) has become a universal communication language," she says.
Steven Blockmans heads the EU Foreign Policy department at the Center for European Policy Studies (CEPS).
For the past 36 years the Brussels-based think-tank has been a leading centre for policy analysis, research and debate on general EU affairs.
Blockmans says the influence that the U.K has on the rest of Europe is enormous: from the free marketeering spirit embraced by traders on the continent to social and cultural ties to the predominance of English, especially on new EU members states hailing from Eastern Europe.
Britain's most precious parting gift to the EU, however, is what makes the existence of European Union possible.
It's Britain that set a political model that has shaped European democracies as well as that of the United States, Blockmans says.
"British constitutionalism is often hailed as, you know, an avant-guard for the rest of Europe. They pioneered the Magna Charta bill of rights, for example, which has been recycled in different ways to the rest of the Continent and has even been uploaded to the statue of EU treaties themselves, irrespective of the fact – ironically – that Britain itself opted out of application of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union."
"So there is this source of inspiration which of course will continue to inspire the continentals, if you want, in Europe. But more than that the British Parliament is often hailed as the mother of modern democracies," the CEPS expert explains.
The UK remains deeply divided over whether or how it should exit the EU. It's hoped a general election due in December will help measure current public opinion on the issue and put an end to the political wrangling that has been raging in the UK since the 2016 EU Referendum.
