English Origin

 The first people known to walk through England were the celts. Latin was the main and the only language spoken in Britain was Latin that was brought by the Roman Empire.

Many years later an event that was going to change its history began! 3 different tribes invade

England; this was one of the biggest influencers on English origin.

The English that we have today are the result of dialects that these tribes brought.

what I said so far are the phases that origin the English that we have now that in the case

historically it is divided between the old English and the Middle English, which particularly

divides the phases is the time in which they occur and what they add again, old English being

the phase of history where Rome is involved and the middle English being the phase of

invasions.

With the years passing by a new language had appeared, this language was the result of the assimilation of the germanic dialects by the already spoken Celtic dialect, this ended in the creation of an entirely new language that we now ident

The Origins of English

  Marcio Lavandeira 12.ºCT8 English is a language that is spoken around the entire globe. But where did English come from? As we know English is a language that evolved through generations of speakers, undergoing major changes over time. While modern English shares similar words with Latin-derived roman languages, like French and Spanish, most of those words were not originally part of it. They began appearing in the English language after the invasion of the Normans in 1066.  After the French-speaking Normans conquered England, they brought their speech with them, adding an amount of French and Latin vocabulary to the English language spoken at that time ( today we call it old English).
