The History of English
English is now the most 1.
language in the world. It is the first language
in the UK, Ireland, the USA, Canada, New
Zealand and Australia. It is also the most
2. second language, which means
English is probably spoken by over 1 3.
people around the world. But how did
we arrive at the English we speak today?
The history of the English language be鄄
gins in the 4. century with the in鄄
vasion
(入侵)
of Britain by three tribes
(部
落)
from 5.
—
the Angles
(盎格
鲁 )
, Jutes
(朱特人 )
and Saxons
(撒克逊
人 )
. The 6. language of Britain
was an older European language called Celtic
(凯尔特语 )
. Over time, most of the Celtic
speakers were 7. into the north
and west of the British Isles. The invaders
(入侵)
spoke a language called Anglo鄄Saxon
and many of the most common words in Eng鄄
lish come from this. The Anglo鄄Saxon word
“
hus
”
became
“

”
,
“
scip
”
be鄄
came
“
ship
”
,
“
cu
”
became
“
co
”
and
“
cil
”
became
“
child
”
.
In the 9. and 10.
centuries, there were other invasions by the
Vikings
(北欧海盗)
from Scandinavia
(斯堪
的纳维亚)
. These 11. words like
“
knffr
”
, or
“
knife
”
,
“
覸g
”
, or
“
egg
”
, and
“
kaka
”
,
or
“
cake
”
into the English language.
The last invasion of Britain was in 1066
when a French duke
(公爵)
William of Nor鄄
mandy 12. at Hastings in the south
of England. After the invasion of 1066, a large
number of 13. words became part
of the English language. For example,
“
fruit
”
,
“
table
”
,
“
crocodile
”
and
“
invasion
”
. In fact,
more than 14. of English words
come from French and it has been estimated
(估计)
that English鄄speaking people who have
never learnt French already know 15.
French words.
Today, English is also a 16.
