Talk:History of English Language

Contributions
As a student in English Language at Kings College London, I have some knowledge about the history of English. I know that many people I talk to are fascinated by where the words and phrases they use originate. Please feel free to contribute as much as possible about your knowledge.

Some excellent books on the matter are:
 * Baugh and Cable: A History of the English Language
 * McCrum, Robert: The Story of English
 * Brysin, Bill: Made in America
 * Bryson, Bill: The Mother Tongue

Websites which have proven helpful are:
 * Wilton, David (editor): "A '(very) Brief History of the English Language," http://www.wordorigins.org/histeng.htm
