As we all know, the English language comes from England, one of the kingdoms of what we know today as the United Kingdom.
The first people who inhabited these islands came from the European mainland; these settlers were Celts that eventually were called Anglos or Britons. In that incipient stage of the language, English was still not a proper language, but a dialect.
Several invasions occurred, and each time the language grew, and was enriched with new words. Vikings, Saxons, Romans, Normands were some of those invaders.
