• English is a West Germanic language that was first spoken in early medieval England and
eventually became a global common language. It is named after the Angles, one of the
Germanic tribes that migrated to the area of Great Britain that later took their name, as
England. Both names derive from Anglia, a peninsula in the Baltic Sea. The language is closely
related to Frisian and Low Saxon, and its vocabulary has been significantly influenced by other
Germanic languages, particularly Norse, Latin and French.
• English has developed over the course of more than 1,400 years. The earliest forms of
English, a group of West Germanic (Ingvaeonic) dialects brought to Great Britain by Anglo-
Saxon settlers in the 5th century, are collectively called Old English. Middle English began in
the late 11th century with the Norman conquest of England; this was a period in which the
language was influenced by French. Early Modern English began in the late 15th century with
the introduction of the printing press to London the printing of the King James Bible and the
start of the Great Vowel Shift.
