How did historical events affect the development of English language?

The Germanic invasion of the British Isles and William the Conquerorâ??s victory at The Battle of Hastings had a profound impact on the English language. Before the Germanic tribes invaded England, British natives spoke Celtic. Afterwards, Old English was spoken. It was heavily Germanic but a good amount of commonly used Modern English words, such as be, have their roots in Old English. When the Norman William the Conqueror came to England, he brought his native French to his court. Middle English eventually developed as French words were added into the mix and it is more recognizable to modern English speakers today than is Old English.
