14The history of the English Languageparallels the history of the English people and the British Islands.

15England before the English

When the Roman legions arrived, they found the land inhabited by Britons. Today, the Britons are known as the CeltsStonehengeno written languageThe Britons were absorbed into Roman society (~40BC 400 AD)Latin is spoken Romans withdraw as the Empire crumbles, leaving the Britons behind

16England before the Englishgroup of pagan people from Northern Europe begin a series of invasionsAnglo-Saxons (Angles, Saxons, Jutes)bring Germanic languagesstill have their languageWednesdayday of Woden, father of the godsThursdayday of Thor, god of war

Woden--father of the gods17

At that time the inhabitants of Britain spoke a Celtic language. But most of the Celtic speakers were pushed west and north by the invaders - mainly into what is now Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Angles came from Englaland and their language was called Englisc - from which the words England and English are derived.

By 600, Anglo-Saxons conquer the Britonslanguage becomes more Germanicstill retains some LatinThe Anglo-Saxons two urgings--war and wandering -- become part of the oral traditionBeowulf is an example of an Anglo-Saxon heroic tale

Beowulf battles Grendels mother21The invading Germanic tribes spoke similar languages, which in Britain developed into what we now call Old English. Old English did not sound or look like English today. Native English speakers now would have great difficulty understanding Old English. Old English (450-1100 AD)

LO, praise of the prowess of people-kingsof spear-armed Danes, in days long sped,we have heard, and what honor the athelings won!Nevertheless, about half of the most commonly used words in Modern English have Old English roots. The words be, strong and water, for example, derive from Old English. Old English was spoken until around 1100.

By 700, Christian missionaries arrive to convert the pagansLatin (the language of the Church) returnsKing Alfredthe Britons become organizedfirst true king of the Britonsperiod of prosperity

King Alfred brings an age of prosperity26But in the eleventh centuryThe Norman Conquest of Britain brought foreign rulers whose native language was French.

27In 1066, the Normans (French speaking people from Normandy), led by William the Conqueror attack and defeat the Britains (a blend of the Britons and Anglo-Saxons) at the Battle of Hastings

French culture and French literature arrives28For more than three hundred years,French was the official language of England. French was the language of the court.English was spoken only by peasants.For example, consider the words pig and pork.
