English Prevalence in Programming Languages

How come most programming languages use English in their syntax?

like define, goto, allocate, end, print, return, integer, if, then, else, define etc

Is it an attempt by the western world to increase its global reach, or is it just an auxiliary language?

In russia, there is a language called "1C", based on Pascal, it looks ugly and unnatural due to relative dynamic nature of russian compared to analytic english. Same would be for german language and any language which allow mutations.
