English evolved over time and is a mixture of different languages. For instance, after 1046 when William took over England all of the kings only spoke French for over 300 years. This meant that the general Englishman couldn't speak to the king because he didn't speak French, but French words filtered into the language and are still in use today. Some English words are Viking words and others have a Celtic base. So, English is a blend of many different people and languages. It is still changing today.

The English language evolved over time from several different languages, including Old English, brought to England by the Anglo-Saxons in the 5th century. There was no single "inventor" of English; it developed naturally through the interactions of various peoples in England.
