This article is wrong in almost all respects. The invasion of England by large numbers of Angles, Saxons and Jutes has long been discounted by most archelogists. There is no evidence of the Britons being displaced westwards and being replaced by these newcomers. The Angles and Saxons were mostly left behind when the Roman Army left Britain in the fifth century. English may have separated from Old Norse 4000 years ago, and could have been spoken here when the Romans arrived in 43 AD. It has little connection with Anglo-Saxon, which uses very different word ordering, and was spoken by the ruling minority of Anglo-Saxons until the Norman Conquest in 1066 AD.
