The History of the English Language

The history of the English language started with arrival of three Germanic tribes . These tribes were Angles, Saxons and Jutes, at that time the inhabitants of Britain spoke a Celtic language. This tribe spoke a similar language called Old English, with different sound and words to today's English. Old English was spoken until around 1100.

In 1066, William the Conqueror, the Duke of Normandy that was from France, invaded and conquered England. The Normans brought with them a French language, and during this time Old English and French mixed words and sound called Middle English.

In the 16th century began the most important change for English language became and many new words and phrases entered the language. This was at the time of William Shakespeare,the invention of printing and the first English dictionary was published. After that Modern English began wich grew to become today's vocabulary.

Now, English is probably used for about a quarter of all the people in the worldand it's often call the world language.
