“HISTORY OF ENGLISH

English developed from Anglo-Saxon and is a Germanic language.
Old English had many inflections to show various grammer forms, e.g.singular and plural, tense, person. The pronunciation was different as well.
Over centuries words have become simplified and in fact have very few inflections now. On the other hand pronunciation and spelling became more difficult. Many words can be used as different parts of speach,
e.g. smile, drink, kiss, etc.
The present-day English vocabulary is about half Germanic (Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian) and half Romance (French and Latin), but there are even 2 Czech words – „robot“ and „pistol“.
It is obvious that other languages are influenced by the English vocabulary.

There are 5 main types of English which differ in pronunciation, spelling and vocabulary.
They are – British English, American English, Australian English, Indian English and African English

English began to spread all over the world in 16th century. English is a member of a language family, that includes ancient languages like Greek, Latin and Asian languages as well as most European languages including French, Spanich, Swedish...
It is called a “family“ of languages because all of the languages in that group have the same original roots.
The family that English belongs to is the Indo- European family."
