Week 1 History of English

The English language has been shaped by its long history which has included many invasions from other tribes on what is now called England. Each invasion brought new words to the English language which began with Germanic tribes (Angles, Saxons, and Jutes) around the 5th century. These are now considered Old English words and make-up most of our everyday words like house, water, mother, eat. Other influences include French, Latin and Greek.
