    The video discusses the history of the English language from its origins to modern times. It explains that English emerged as a language around 410 AD when the Romans left Britain and Germanic tribes invaded. These tribes including the Angles, Saxons and Jutes brought many everyday words. Later, Christian missionaries introduced Latin words and the Vikings brought over 2,000 more words in the 800s AD. The next major influence was the Norman conquest of 1066, when William the Conqueror invaded and brought Old French. His rule introduced thousands of French words particularly dealing with government, law and society. English eventually emerged again as the primary language after over 100 years.
