Development of the EnglishLanguage

The development of the English language begins before of the birth of Christ. This is 8000 years ago. We return to the east Europe at the black sea where indo Europe developed an agricultural society. This area was good for agriculture. The indo Europe domesticated horses, invented the wheel, and had a population explosion. The problem was that there wasn’t enough food so they migratedout for an agricultural place. They had their one language. They migrated to Persia and developed the Farsi language. They migrated to India and develop Hindi language. They migrated to turkey and develop Armenian language. They migrated to Western Europe and develop French, Spanish, Latin, Germanic, and Greek.
The original occupiers of England were the druids. They are only known forStonehenge. The Celts migrated to England by the English Channel for Agricultural land. The druids disappeared but they developed the Gaelic language. All Indi languages evolved in its new homes. The English evolved during periods of war, of peace, and of expansion.

They were basically thieves, murderers, and rapists. After they did all what they wanted they returned to Norway for the winter.
