Historia Del Ingles (Ingles)

History of English
English is a West Germanic language originating from the Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Britain by Germanic invaders from various parts of what is now northwest Germany, southern Denmark and northern Netherlands. Initially, Old English was a group of several dialects, reflecting the varied origins of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of England. One of these dialects, Late WestSaxon (Late West Saxon), at one point came to dominate. The old English original was then influenced by two waves invasive: the first was speaking the Scandinavian branch of the Germanic languages​​, who conquered and colonized parts of Britain in the eighth and ninth centuries, the second was the Normans in the century XI, who spoke old Norman and developed a variety of English known as anglonormado.These two invasions caused English to be mixed to some extent.
Cohabitation with the Scandinavians resulted in a significant grammatical simplification and lexical enrichment anglofrisio core of English, the later Norman occupation led to a graft of a more elaborate layer of words from the Romance languages ​​(derived from Latin). This Norman influence on English broke through the courts andgovernment. With the advent of the Renaissance, Latin and Ancient Greek supplanted Norman French as the main source of new words. So English is developed language with many loans that produced an enormous and varied vocabulary.
