The English language, like the people who speak it, over the centuries, evolved from the languages and people who came before them. Most people attribute the basis of English on the languages of the Germanic tribes merged with the Latin of the Roman Empire. English is a language of many rules, exceptions to the rules, and word and phrase forms that defy any rules. The reason for that is that the English language of today incorporates words and terms taken from most of the languages of the world, both ancient and modern.
