The Romans did not have a direct way to say "English" as it is understood today since the Roman Empire primarily spoke Latin and interacted with various languages across its territories. The term "English" refers to the language that developed in England after the fall of the Roman Empire, influenced by Old English, which was derived from Germanic languages. In Latin, they might have referred to the people of England as "Angli" (from the Angles) and their language as "lingua Anglica." However, the concept of "English" as a distinct language didn't exist during the height of the Roman Empire.
English did not exist back then. The island was inhabited by Celtic peoples. The English language developed after the Romans. It is most likely that the Romans continued to speak Latin.
