What is English language?

Answer 1

The English language was first spoken by the English people and after a while Australians started to speak English as well as the USA and many other countries speak English. English is the medium of communication with one another. It is the 3rd most common spoken language in the world. English started as the speech of some Germanic tribes in Europe. The formulation of English from Indo-European is "the story of three invasions and a cultural revolution". In the simplest terms, the language was brought to Britain by Germanic tribes, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, influenced by Latin and Greek when St. Augustine and his followers converted England to Christianity. The name 'English' means the speech of the 'Angli' the Angles, one of the three related tribes that settled in Britannia beginning 5th century.
