What dialect did the Modern English come from?

To simplify a complex subject, the East Midland dialect of Old English became the dominant dialect as it replaced the conservative (as in, little influenced by Scandinavians from the north) Kentish dialect of London. The East Midland dialect had lost many of the inflections of Old English, and after the Norman invasion of 1066, gradually evolved (in part due to a further simplification of inflections as Norman French eventually learned English) with additions from Latin (sometimes from Greek) and French (of various dalects).
