1. The evolution of spoken
English began from the fifth
century, with waves of attack
and eventual occupation by
the Angles, Saxons, Jutes and
Frisians.
English is a West Germanic language of
the Indo-European language family,
with its earliest forms spoken by the
inhabitants of early medieval England
It is named after the Angles, one of
the ancient Germanic peoples that
migrated to the island of Great
Britain.
They spoke the same West Germanic
tongue but with different dialects. Their
intermingling created a new Germanic
language; now referred to as Anglo-Saxon,
or Old English

evolution development
It has progressed from very
humble beginnings as a dialect of
Germanic settlers in the 5th
century, to a global language in
the 21st century.
Over thousands of years, humans have
developed a wide variety of systems to
assign specific meaning to sounds,
forming words and systems of grammar
to create languages. Many languages
developed written forms using symbols
to visually record their meaning.
British Empire had spread English through its
colonies and geopolitical dominance.
Commerce, science and technology, diplomacy,
and formal education all contributed to English
becoming the first truly global language. English
also facilitated worldwide international
communication.
The earliest forms of English, collectively
known as Old English, evolved from a group
of West Germanic dialects brought to Great
Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th
century
