The document discusses the history and evolution of the English language from its origins as Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century AD. Over the following centuries, the language was influenced by Old Norse during the Viking invasions and then underwent extensive development and standardization during the time of the Norman conquest in the 11th century. The modern English language began taking shape between the 15th to 17th centuries.
