The Romano Brythons were the occupants of 'Britain' when the Anglo Saxons and Jutes arrived . The word 'Celt' is suspect in the light of the movement of the Amazigh Celt tribes through Southern Europe, and it is doubtful if they ever existed in the land that became England, although remnants of these tribes lived on in South Western Ireland. There are only a dozen Brythonic words (Welsh) in English. The Celts were in Britain long before the English language existed. Celtic influence on English is minimal. There are more Amerindian words in English than Celtic ones.
The Norman Conquest of England in 1066 greatly influenced the English language by introducing a significant number of French words into the language. This linguistic shift led to a blending of Old English and Norman French, resulting in Middle English.
