The English language was not created at any one time or by any one person or group of people. It evolved over the centuries from the language of the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes (who invaded Roman Britain from Western Germany around 450 AD.), which absorbed some Scandinavian during the period of Danish settlement and then combined with the Norman French that was spoken by the ruling classes after the Norman conquest of England to form an early version of the English language.
