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 Viking invaders in the north and Norman invaders in the south, and has continued to borrow words from other languages throughout the world as English spread globally with British colonialism.
