The English language has evolved over centuries and its rules are not set by a single individual or organization. However, there are institutions such as the Oxford English Dictionary and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary that serve as authoritative sources for the English language.
New words are constantly being added to the English language through a process called lexical borrowing. This can happen through cultural exchange, globalization, or technological advancements. These new words are then adopted and used by speakers until they become a part of the language.
Technically, anyone can create new words, but for them to be widely accepted and recognized, they must follow certain linguistic rules and conventions. Additionally, new words are more likely to be accepted if they fill a gap in the language or have a clear meaning and purpose.
There are no official organizations that regulate the use of the English language. However, there are institutions such as language academies that may provide guidelines and recommendations for usage, but ultimately it is up to the speakers to decide how they use the language.
The English language is constantly evolving and changing due to a variety of factors such as cultural influences, technological advancements, and the blending of different dialects and languages. As long as the language is being used and adapted by speakers, it will continue to evolve and change over time.
