This document discusses the history and evolution of the English language from Anglo-Saxon times to today. It notes that English originated as a West Germanic language and was introduced to Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century. Over the centuries, the language absorbed words from Norse, Norman French, and Latin, as well as other languages, which contributed to its significant growth and variability across regions. Modern English continues to be shaped by globalization and technological changes.
