The period in the history of the English
language covering the years from 449 (or
450) to 1100 (or 1150). Around the year
450, England was invaded by the
Germanic tribes (the Angles, the Saxons,

A short document with the most important facts of the evolution of the English language through the years.
The history of english
The inhabitants of Britain originally spoke Celtic languages, but these were displaced by Germanic tribes who arrived in the 5th century AD, including the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. Over the next few centuries, dialects developed in different Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. In the 7th-8th centuries, Northumbria's language dominated Britain, but Viking invasions in the 9th century ended this. After the Norman conquest in 1066, French became dominant until English reemerged in the 14th century. Since the 16th century, contact with other peoples and the Renaissance added many new words to the language from Latin and other sources.
1. history of english language
The history of the English language can be traced back to before 100 BC when Celtic tribes inhabited Britain. In the 5th century AD, Germanic tribes invaded and introduced Old English. Old English was influenced by Viking invaders in the north. Between 1100-1450, Middle English developed as Norman French became the dominant language. Early Modern English emerged around 1470 with the introduction of the printing press. Latin had a strong influence on vocabulary. Since 1700, Late Modern English has become more standardized and similar to modern English with its widespread use globally.
History of the English Language
The document discusses the history and development of the English language over three main periods: Old English, Middle English, and Modern English. It describes the influences of the Celtic, Anglo-Saxon, Danish, Norman, and Latin languages. Key events included the Roman conquest of Britain, introduction of Christianity, Viking invasions, and Norman conquest in 1066. The language transitioned from Old English to Middle English during this time, taking on characteristics from these other languages through conquest and settlement.
Introduction on The Anglo Saxon Era
The document summarizes the Anglo-Saxon period in Britain from 410 AD to 1066 AD. It describes how Germanic tribes from Anglen and Saxony settled in Britain following the withdrawal of Roman armies. These settlers established small kingdoms and replaced Roman structures with wooden buildings. Christianity also spread during this time. The period lasted over 600 years and saw shifting political landscapes, with Wessex emerging as the dominant kingdom following Viking invasions. Anglo-Saxon rule ended with the Norman conquest after the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
The history of english language
The earliest inhabitants of Britain were the Celts. In the 5th century AD, Germanic tribes like the Angles and Saxons invaded and their language, Old English, began to develop. After the Norman conquest in 1066, French influences entered English and the language was transformed into Middle English. By the 16th century, English had evolved into its Modern form, with a vocabulary that was 60% Latin/French-derived and 40% Germanic-based.
Short History of the english language
- The English language originated with Germanic tribes like the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes invading Britain in the 5th century AD and displacing the native Celtic language. Their language was called Old English.
- In 1066, William the Conqueror invaded England from Normandy bringing Norman French, which became the language of royalty and nobility. English became dominant again in the 14th century but incorporated many French words.
- Major changes from 1500-1800 included the Great Vowel Shift in pronunciation and the adoption of many new words from Britain's global expansion and the Renaissance, helping standardize the language.
Middle English Lecture 7
The document discusses the development of the English language from Middle English to Modern English. It provides context around how English changed after the Norman conquest in 1066, when French became the dominant language until around 1200. Key events that influenced this change included the Norman invasion and conquest of England, which introduced many French words to English. By around 1150, English documents had shifted to colloquial dialects and Old English disappeared. The period from 1150-1500 is considered Middle English.

By the late 1200s, French had become the dominant language of the English court and government, while English remained primarily a language of the common people. However, both English and French continued to be used in England, with a diffusion of the languages occurring across social classes.

The key influences that shaped English over time included invasions and settlements by Germanic tribes and Vikings, the Norman conquest, pronunciation changes, and the spread of English through imperialism and globalization.
Norman conquest
The Norman conquest of England began in 1066 with William, Duke of Normandy's invasion and victory over the English King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings. Harold's army was weakened from a recent victory in the north over the Norwegians. William went on to secure control of England through military force and established Norman rule, replacing the English aristocracy and imposing Norman French language and culture, transforming England. The conquest had wide-ranging and long-lasting influences by linking England more closely to continental Europe and lessening Scandinavian impact.

Brief History of Englsih
English evolved from Old English spoken by Anglo-Saxons in Britain beginning in the 5th century AD. It was influenced by Latin during Roman occupation, Old Norse with Viking invasions, and Old French following the Norman Conquest in 1066. During the Middle English period from 1150-1450, English absorbed large amounts of French and Latin vocabulary. The spread of the British Empire in the 18th-19th centuries established English as a global language, adopting words from other languages. Today, English continues to diversify with many regional varieties while maintaining its role as an international lingua franca.

The puritan movement
The Puritan movement in 16th-17th century England aimed to make society both personally righteous and to increase civil/religious liberty. It grew out of a desire for reform in the Church of England and opposition to despotism. Though begun as a religious movement, it expanded to a national movement supporting resistance to absolute monarchy. Key Puritan leaders like Cromwell and Thomas Hooker advocated for both religious tolerance and the first written constitution establishing democratic government. While some Puritan reforms were extreme, overall the movement was pivotal in establishing liberty and justice in England.

History of England
The English language originated with the invasion of Britain in the 5th century AD by Germanic tribes from Denmark and northern Germany, including the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. These tribes brought their Germanic languages, which developed into Old English. Old English was later influenced by the Norman invasion in 1066, which introduced French words and created Middle English. English continued to evolve with influences from the Renaissance, printing press, and contact with other languages and cultures through the British Empire, leading to Early Modern and Late Modern English. Today there are many global varieties of English.
History of English
The history of the English language began with the invasion of Britain in the 5th century AD by three Germanic tribes from Germany and Denmark, whose language developed into Old English. From the 11th century, following the Norman invasion, French influences led to the emergence of Middle English. By the late 15th century, after the printing press was introduced, the London dialect became standardized as Early Modern English. The industrial revolution and Britain's global influence have since contributed to vocabulary growth and the evolution of Late Modern English.

EARLY MODERN ENGLISH.pptx
The Early Modern English period began in the late 15th century after the Middle English period. Some key events that influenced the English language during this time include the Great Vowel Shift between 1500-1700, which changed vowel pronunciations, and the Great Plague of 1665-1666, which led to a merging of lower and upper class dialects.
