British history

English history begins with the birth of the English in Britain island approximately 1,500 years ago. English is a West Germanic language that originated from the dialects of Anglo-Frisian islands were brought to Britain by Germanic immigrants from northwestern parts of what is now the Netherlands and Germany. Initially, Old English was a bunch of dialect that reflects the diverse origins of the kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxons in England. One of these dialects, eventually the dominant West Saxon. Then the original Old English language then influenced by two waves of invasion.

The first wave of the invasion is the invasion of the speakers of the Scandinavian branch of the family German. They conquer and inhabit some parts of Britain in the 8th century and 9th.

Then this is the second wave of the invasion of tribes Norman in the 11th century that bertuturkan a French dialect. Both of these invasions resulted in the English "mixed" to some degree (although it never became a mixed language literally).

Living together with members of ethnic Scandinavians finally created a grammar simplification and enrichment of the Anglo-British core of the English language.
