The dialects spoken by the settlers in England belonged to the great Germanic (or Teutonic) branch of the most important of all linguistic families, termed by many philologists the Indo-European (or Indo-Germanic) and by others, and to my mind more appropriately Aryan. Since the year of 449, the Anglo-Saxons live in peace. They migrated to England from the Continent, in more than 1 century after the year 0f 449. They occupied England in three territories : The Angles occupied Northumbrian and Mercian, the Jutes occupied Kentish, and the Saxons occupied West Saxon.
