English History

English history began with the birth of the English language on the island of Britain about 1,500 years ago. English is a West Germanic language derived from dialects of Anglo-Frisian islands brought to Britain by Germanic immigrants from several parts of the northwest area now called the Netherlands and Germany.


Initially, Old English is a group of dialects that reflect the diverse origins of the kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxons in England. One of these dialects, the West Saxons eventually came to dominate. Then the original Old English language was then influenced by two waves of invasion invasi.Gelombang first is the invasion of the speakers of the language of the Scandinavian branch of a German family. They conquered and colonized parts of Britain in the 8th century and 9th.


Then this is the second invasion wave of interest Norman in the 11th century that spoke a dialect of French. Both the invasion of English has resulted in "mixed" to some degree (although it never became a mixture of literal language.) Living together with members of ethnic Scandinavian simplification finally create the core grammar and enrichment of the Anglo-British than English.
