the "Serment de Strasbourg" (Oath of Strasbourg) was written in 743. It is considered if not the first document ever written in French, at least as the landmark of French usage. == ==

When was French spoken in France?

French has been spoken in France since at the very latest around 842 (the year from which the Oath of Strasbourg dates, the oldest surviving French text). It was probably being spoken before then, since it takes a while for a spoken language to attain written form, particularly when the language of choice for writing at the time was Latin.

When did English become the official language of England?

Shortly after Geoffrey Chaucer died, English was decreed as the official language of England. This was after a history of several different ruling languages. When Julius Caesar invaded, the English language did not exist. However the Anglo-Saxons later invaded and united the tribes, keeping only a few words of the then dominant Celtic language. However, the Vikings also "ruled" England, and we still use over 900 words from this Norse time period, including many days of the week. Then the Norman French invaded and ruled for 300 years. The official languages of their court were French and Latin. (This time period added prepositional phrases to the English language.) The English finally raised a peasant army, and the 100 Year War broke out. By the time Chaucer was born, there was an English-speaking king again. Modern day speakers would not be able to read this English, though, but a series of events, including the Black Death and the printing press brought about the Great Vowel Shift, which resulted in a form of modern English. This brings us up to the language of Shakespeare, which we can understand fairly easily. However, as we can obviously see, the English language has continued to evolve in the last 400 years, and continues to change shape even today.
