Nobody discovers languages, they are not sitting somewhere waiting to be found. They gradually evolve among a group of people trying to communicate with each other. As groups move about and settle in different places, their languages gradually become different from one another. English belongs to the Indo-European family of languages. Its evolution is quite complex, including influences from the various peoples who have settled in Britain over the centuries. It's a fascinating study, and if you want to know more you should research such terms as 'roots of the English language' or 'evolution of English'.
