The term "Angles" typically refers to the Anglo-Saxons, and many English words have roots in Old English, which was influenced by this group. Common words that originated from Old English include "house," "water," "mother," and "friend." The influence of Anglo-Saxon on modern English is significant, especially in everyday vocabulary, as it forms the foundation of the language.

Where did the language of English come from?

When Julius Caesar invaded Britain in 55 BCE English did not exist. The Celts spoke languages such as Welsh, Gaelic and Breton. The West Germanic tribes such as the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, came across the North Sea and settled in Britain they brought with them their languages. Another influence on the development of English was the arrival of Christianity. The Anglo - Saxon language was enriched with Greek and Latin words.
