Language families

English is a member of the Germanic family of languages. Germanic is a branch of the Indo-European language family.

When Julius Caesar invaded Britain in 55 B.C., English did not exist. The Celts, who inhabited the land, spoke languages that survive today mainly as Welsh.

Germanic invaders entered Britain on the east and south coasts in the 5th century farming vocabulary, including sheep, ox, earth, wood

Then into this relatively peaceful land came the Vikings from Scandinavia. They also brought to English many words that begin with sk, like sky and skirt.

Another flood of new vocabulary occurred in 1066, when the Normans conquered England. The country now had three languages: French for the nobles, Latin for the churches and English for the common people.
