OLD ENGLISH, UNTIL 1066

Immigrants from Denmark and NW Germanyarrived in Britain in the 5th and 6th Centuries A.D.,speaking in related dialects belonging to theGermanic and Teutonic branches of the Indo-European language family. Today, English is mostclosely related to Flemish, Dutch, and German,and is somewhat related to Icelandic, Norwegian,Danish, and Swedish. Icelandic, unchanged for

1,000 years, is very close to Old English. Vikinginvasions, begun in the 8th Century, gave English aNorwegian and Danish influence which lasted untilthe Norman Conquest of 1066.

Middle English, from 1066 until the 15th Century

The Norman Invasion and Conquest of Britain in1066 and the resulting French Court of William theConqueror gave the Norwegian-Dutch influenced

English a Norman-Parisian-French effect. From1066 until about 1400, Latin, French, and Englishwere spoken. English almost disappeared entirelyinto obscurity during this period by the French andLatin dominated court and government. However,in 1362, the Parliament opened with English as thelanguage of choice, and the language was savedfrom extinction. Present-day English isapproximately 50% Germanic (English andScandinavian) and 50% Romance (French andLatin).

Early Modern English, from the 15thCentury to the 17th Century

During this period, English became moreorganized and began to resemble the modernversion of English. Although the word order and

sentence construction was still slightly different,Early Modern English was at least recognizable tothe Early Modern English speaker. For example, theOld English "To us pleases sailing" became "We likesailing." Classical elements, from Greek and Latin,profoundly influenced work creation and origin.From Greek, Early Modern English receivedgrammar, logic, arithmetic, geometry, astronomy,and music. Also, the "tele-" prefix meaning "far"later used to develop telephone and televisionwas taken.

Modern English, from the 17th

Century to Modern Times

Modern English developed through the efforts of literary and

political writings, where literacy was uniformly found. Modern

English was heavily influenced by classical usage, the

emergence of the university-educated class, Shakespeare, thecommon language found in the East Midlands section of

present-day England, and an organized effort to document and

standardize English. Current inflections have remained almost

unchanged for 400 years, but sounds of vowels and consonants

have changed greatly. As a result, spelling has also changed

considerably. For example, from Early English to Modern English,

lyf became life, deel became deal, hoom became home, mone

became moon, and hous became house.

American English, from the

18th Century until Modern Times

Until the 18th Century, British and American Englishwere remarkably similar with almost no variance.

Immigration to America by other English peopleschanged the language by 1700. Noah Webster,author of the first authoritative American Englishdictionary, created many changes. The "-

re" endings became "-er" and the "-our" endingsbecame "-or". Spelling by pronunciation andpersonal choice from Webster were influences.
