Old English, often called Anglo-Saxon, is a heavily inflected Germanic language with three genders, three numbers ( singular, dual and plural) and five cases in the noun, Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative and Instrumental. Middle English is a lightly inflected Germanic language that has a great deal of French vocabulary and grammar, no gender and only three cases in the noun, Subjective, Possessive and Objective ( Modern English has only two, Subjective and Possessive).
