English in the world: A very brief history of a global language

[@milindpatil5611]

That was pretty lightweight.German and French origins. Simplified while French was the language of the elites. As a low status language it displaced French as the high status language. An important factor in spreading British influence in the world. Spread by force, by commerce, and (I say) by its ease of use as a lingua franca. (Easy I understand to be understood in, though difficult to speak really well.)

But this doesn't tell us when the English language was formed or what it evolved from? You went from Britain's speaking Gaelic to mixing with Romans etc. then abracadabra English?

[@RockSmithStudio]

The Reader's Digest version is basically new groups of people invaded and became in charge, constantly changing the language of the Great Britain. First the Celtics arrived and settle all over the place which is why you still see areas with Celtic Languages still alive today such as in Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Then the Romans show up and they were only able to fully rule the Southern part of the Great Britain which is where Scottish and English begin to truly diverse. Then Anglo, Saxon, and Jules started settling in the 800s, which changed the language even more. Then Vikings pillaged which gave English even more change. By this point we now have Old English. THEN BAM! Normans invade, who speak French, and they and their descents rule England to some extent to this very day, and brought French as the main language among nobility so for over hundreds of years, the common folks of England begin inheriting many French/Latin words which is why the majority of the English words come from French/Latin. So yeah, that pretty much sums it up

I don’t agree with that last statement. It’ll change but I think at it’s basic level it’s in its final form.

[@rampantmutt9119]

Much of this is misleading. The language is not called English because it comes from England, but because it was the language of the Angles. Saying that England was not "properly established" as the language of England until the 1300s can lead folks to believe that England was not the language of most Englishmen until that time. Henry IV was not the first king of England to speak English as his mother tongue, but he was the first SINCE the Norman Conquest.

Very misleading, it was always English, just in a different form. Makes it sound like the Welsh, Scottish and Irish had their own language but the English didn't. Does not acknowledge the huge contribution of the Romans to the English language.

Just send it. I think that even though Christianity is a plague the Bible still has interesting text and the best way to dispel their beliefs is by knowing their history
