The language of "English " is not a pure language, but a combination of the people who came to live in the area we call British Isles. Germans, Vikings, Latin, and French all make English. For nearly 300 years the Kings and Queens of England didn't speak English. They spoke French and today the Queen still has the royal menus in French. When the English came to the New World they incorporated Native American words into the English as well as bits of other languages that came with settlers. American English spelling got a bit of confusing help from the first colonial printers. They were Dutch so wrote English words the way they heard them. This has given English silent letters in some words. Until the late 1800's English was not standardized so people spelled words and spoke English in many ways. English is still changing and evolving with new ideas, inventions, and people from around the world using it.
