A Short History of the Origins and Development of English

crossed the North Sea from Denmark and Germany. At that time the __31__ people of Britain spoke a Celtic

language. But more of the Celtic speakers were __32__ west and north by the invaders into Wales, Scotland

and Ireland. The Angles came from “England” and their language was called “Englisc”, from which the words

“England” and “English” __33__.

and the dialect of London became the standard.

Late Modern English (1800 - Present)
