HISTORY OF
ENGLISH
STORY OF THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH
Having emerged from the dialects
and vocabulary of Germanic
peoples—Angles, Saxons, and
Jutes—who settled in Britain in the
5th century CE, English today is a
constantly changing language that
has been influenced by a plethora of
different cultures and languages,
such as Latin, French, Dutch, and
Afrikaans.
The four major dialects of Old
English
• Four dialects of the Old English
language are known: Northumbrian
in northern England and
southeastern Scotland; Mercian in
central England; Kentish in
southeastern England; and West Saxon
in southern and southwestern
England.
Beowulf is the oldest
surviving Germanic epic and
the longest Old English poem;
it was likely composed
between 700 and 750. Other
great works of Old English
poetry include The Wanderer,
The Seafarer, The Battle of
Maldon, and The Dream of
the Rood.

WHY HAS THINGS
CHANGED TO MODERN
ENGLISH?
• Language changes for several reasons.
First, it changes because the needs of
its speakers change. New technologies,
new products, and new experiences
require new words to refer to them
clearly and efficiently. ... Another
reason for change is that no two
people have had exactly the same
language experience.
