Origin of English
Origins of English
The earliest form of English, Old English (OE) was derived from the Germanic languages of the Anglo-Saxons who settled in Britain in the mid-fifth century ce (449 ce), Great Britain.
Great Britain was formerly known as Albion.
Before the romans arrived, Great Britain was a geographical rather than a political entity, and its many indegenous tribes shared no unifying culture. What they did share, however, was a language.
The inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland had been speaking Celtic dialects from around 2000 bce.
The Romans in English
Roman had arrived in Britain in 43 ce, as part of an invassion force led by the Roman general Aulus Plautius and then subjugated the native Britons ( Cornwall, Cumbria, Wales, and part of lowland Scotland).
The use of Latin as the language of official dom but never supplanted the Common Brittonic language of the bative Britons.
The Arrival of the Anglo-Saxons
The Britons appealed for help from Rome, but Rome could barely help.
When the situation got worse, Vortigern, made an appeal to the Germanic tribes of north-west Germany and Denmark for help in repelling the attack.
The Saxons (north-west Germany), the Angles (Danish), and the Jutes (northern Denmark) agreed to come to the aid of Britons, arriving in 449 CE.
They succeeded in dispelling the attacks from the Picts and the Scots, and then they decided to settle in Britain.
English: What’s in A Name?
Bede was writing about the coming of Anglo-Saxons 300 years after they arrived.
From 18th century onward, Britain began to be referred to as England.
By the 7th century a number of significant settlements had become established.
