origin of the English language is directly linked with the development of England.When the Romans withdrew from the British Isles in far 410 in those lands were only the indigenous inhabitants of the island - the Britons.They used to talk Celtic languages.
Already in the year 449 the islands raided the ancestors of modern English - Angles, Saxons and Jutes.They all spoke different dialects of Low German language.Native languages and conquerors and turned mixed Anglo-Saxon dialect.
can only guess how the story would develop the English language, if not the descendants of these tribes experienced frequent attacks since the invasion of the Vikings and the Normans with the missionary movement largely changed it.As a result, the English language has gained the most numerous vocabulary and grammar began to play a leading role is not the end of words, and the design of the proposal.
in 8 century BC to the British Isles encroached Vikings.They used the North German language and come from Denmark, Sweden and Norway.Their mode of communication different from the Anglo-Saxon as much as different from modern Spanish Italian.Despite the existence of differences in the terminals and pronunciation, both had common roots.
After a short battle the Vikings began to coexist peacefully with the locals in England.Language gradually merged, forming a new, stripped of most endings.He acquired the name of Old English.
Already in 1066 the history of the English language acquired in the face of the continuation of the Norman army.They talked to one of the French dialects.Their invasion brought with French as the official, but the Anglo-Saxons did not take this innovation and the continued use of Old English.
Normans It played a crucial role in the formation of the English, so a variety of Germanic and Celtic tribes had to find a way to communicate.From the merger of the existing dialects and using simplification of grammar and the English language originated.
It was not limited to the development of the script, which is why very quickly changed and simplified.Multiple endings will replace the conventional order of words in a sentence, as well as increasing the value of functional words.At the same time it has become a lot of borrowing from the French language, which are more sensitive and polite versions of Anglo-Saxon counterparts.
In the Middle Ages ubiquitous Latin affected the formation of the English.Many Latin words borrowed from Christian priests, fell into the spoken language.Most scientists do not find appropriate ways to express their ideas in English and used in the works of Latin words.Due to this the language in question has acquired a significant number of Greek and Latin words.
history of English has received a significant boost with the invention of printing.Particularly popular was the London dialect with which the manuscripts were created and the whole alphabet.
first grammar was written in 1586 specifically for foreigners and English-speaking students who are going to study Latin.At the same time they are not used to teaching the speakers themselves.The first attempts were made to that already in 1750.
Unfortunately, the linguists of the 18th century were based on incorrect theories considering dying endings signs of degradation.They could not return to the language of the end of the long-lost, but excelled in the field of preservation of the now existing.If not for their direct influence, it is not modern abounded to so many irregular verbs.
history of the English language today has many different dialects and related languages, formed as a result of efforts to training of the colonies.He is an official in the UK, USA and Australia, as well as the surrounding islands.
History of the English language will bring him into second place in the number of carriers (after China).It is essential to more than 400 million people and about a billion people use it as a "second".Also, the English language has gained the status of the most studied in Europe.
