HISTORY OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE

The English language is the most widely spoken language worldwide right now. English is used for business, travel and science activities. But do we know where English come from? English has got many words from other languages that is because many years ago a lot of people invaded England and settled there. At the very begining English was influenced by the Roman Empire and the Catholic church. The first ones who came to England where the Germanic-speaking people, after them came the Normans who spoke French and finally Britain began to colonise other countries. That is why we can find words from many different origins such us: book, kitchen, ketchup, silk, soya... Actually we can appreciate different kinds of English and talks. Finally I want to say that English has changed a lot during the years and right now we speak English in a different way and with other words.
