Byzantine Empire
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century AD, the eastern part of the empire continued to thrive and eventually became known as the Byzantine Empire. Centered in Constantinople, it preserved Roman law and culture while also incorporating Greek influences. The Byzantine Empire lasted for nearly a thousand years, maintaining significant political, economic, and cultural influence in the region until its fall in 1453.
Germanic invaders (or 'barbarians', Teutons) did. even though that might be true that invaders brought the language into English, but the invaders names would be, Germans, Normans, and Jutes. during 870 A.D. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- English is in fact a Germanic language, just because Englishmen are Germanic people: Anglo-Saxons.
The Roman Empire was split in half because the massive empire was too large to defend with too many invaders, such as the Saxons, Huns, Goths, and Germanic tribes. So Diocletian, the emperor at the time, split it in half because he thought the empire would be easier to defend. The western empire fell to a Germanic general, Odoacer, while the eastern empire, the Byzantine Empire, continued to thrive.
The Germanic invaders of the 5th century destroyed the western part of the Roman Empire, which fell as was replaced by kingdoms established by the invaders. The eastern part of the Roman Empire was not affected and continued to exist for nearly 1,000 years
Four groups of invaders that threatened Byzantine territory included the Arab armies, who launched extensive campaigns in the 7th century; the Seljuk Turks, who defeated the Byzantines at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071; the Crusaders, particularly during the Fourth Crusade, which led to the sack of Constantinople in 1204; and the Ottoman Turks, who ultimately conquered Constantinople in 1453. Each of these groups significantly impacted the Byzantine Empire's territorial integrity and power.

Germanic languages were brought to Britain by the Anglo-Saxons, who migrated from continental Europe in the 5th century AD. Their languages eventually evolved into what we now know as Old English.
England. The word is compounded of the words "in" and "deed", both of which are native English words, brought to the British Isles by the Germanic-speaking invaders of the fifth century AD.
The Western Roman empire fell to the Germanic tribes in 476 which was the 5th century of our era.
The Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes were the major Germanic tribes who settled in England in the fifth century, bringing their Germanic language with them. The language they spoke evolved eventually into Anglo-Saxon, also called Old English.

Germanic peoples, such as the Visigoths, Vandals, and Ostrogoths, overran the Western Roman Empire in the 5th century CE. These invaders successfully sacked Rome and eventually established their own kingdoms in the former Roman territories. The ultimate fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 CE marked the end of ancient Rome and the beginning of the Middle Ages in Europe.
