Where Does English Come From?
Did you know that English is not native to Britain? English is a West Germanic language, and it originated from Anglo-Frisian dialects. These dialects were brought to Britain between the 5th and 7th centuries AD. The people who brought English were the Anglo-Saxons from northwest Germany, southern Denmark, and the Netherlands.
Before English, the first people in England were the Celts. They spoke Celtic languages, which had two main branches: Gaelic and Brythonic.
Celtic was probably the first Indo-European language in England.
Another language spoken in Britain was Latin. Latin was used for about 400 years when Britain was part of the Roman Empire. During that time, Britain was a province of Rome.
So, English has a long and interesting history with many influences.
