What we call "English" began with the Anglo-Saxon tribes along the Eastern coast of England and developed into " Old English". English is not a pure language and uses words from many cultures. After William the Conqueror French was the only language spoken by the kings and queens of England for 300 years.( Even today the menus in the English court are still in French). English was the language for the common man. Words like "beef" come from the French. Today's English is changing and still developing.
