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. Then the Vikings came from Scandinavia to plunder and conquest they brought with them their vocabulary too. When the Normans, from Normandy, came to Britain they brought French to Britain. But French did not displace English and over 3 centuries English gradually gained dominance but had about 10,000 borrowed French words. With the development of printing came a communications revolution and thousand of Greek and Latin words came into the English vocabulary
The English people trace their origins to various groups including the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes who migrated to Britain from present-day Germany and Denmark in the early Middle Ages. The term "British" refers to the people who inhabited the island of Great Britain, including the Celts and later the Anglo-Saxons and Normans.
