The English language is a language that has a lot of history.

It is part of the group of Germanic languages,and all languages in Europe and India come from a common ancestor;the Indo-European language around 5000 years ago.Eventually,Indo-European separated.When the Celts moved to England,their language was already it's own.When the Romans invaded,this language was forgotten,and Latin replaced most languages.The Romans withdrew power in the 5th century A.D,but it took a little longer for Old English to come about.By the 8th century,Old English was spoken on the streets,but the majority of writing was still in French or Latin.The first form of written English,The Canterbury Tales was written in the mid 1300s.
