Origin of English

 The English language is a Germanic language that originates in England. The name comes from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who migrated to England during the 5th century CE. The history of the English language is divided into three periods - Old English (450-1100 CE), Middle English (1100-1500), and Modern English. Modern English continues to be shaped by various regional forms, such as American and British, where regional dialects became standardized over time to become what we know today as Standard English which is used around the world as a means of international communication.

English language refers to the set of varieties of the English language natively written and spoken in the United States, Canada, Ireland and many other countries. It is a West Germanic language descended from Old English that diverged from the North Germanic languages around 450 AD, following the Anglo-Saxon invasion of Britain led by Germanic settlers (i.e. Angles, Saxons and Jutes).

The English language, also known as Anglo-Saxon or Old English (to distinguish it from Modern English), is the language of the Anglo-Saxons and their descendants today. It is closely related to Frisian, Low German, Dutch and German. The earliest form of the language spoken by these Germanic tribes, who settled in Britain during the fifth century A.D., was completely different from Modern English — all but one thousand years of linguistic development have occurred since then.

The English language is the dominant language in a wide variety of fields, including computer coding, international business, and higher education. It is also the lingua franca in countries around the world, thanks to its easy-to-read alphabet and grammar that is easy to learn.

The English language is the only global language designed to be as flexible and as adaptable for use in as many worldwide regions. It is spoken by about a billion people on five continents, making it the largest language in the world by number of speakers.
