What language did people speak in England before English?

Conventional teachings say celtic languages, but this has recently been challenged. Some people content that Pre Old English was present in England before the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, etc. arrived.

Answer 2

There were Celtic languages, whose descendants are Welsh, Cornish, Breton and the different forms of Gaelic. There was Latin during the Roman occupation, and then there were Old Norse and the Saxon dialects that became Old English. Norman French was spoken by the upper classes after 1066, and gradually they all combined together and formed middle English, which evolved into our modern language.http://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/how-english-evolved-into-a-modern-language/1575959.html
