What are the origins of the English language?full history of english language

Of course, this is a very broad question.  If you want a
better answer, you might ask a more specific question.

The
modern English language is an Indo-European language that is descended from Old English
through Middle English.  The Old English language was a Germanic language that was
brought to the British Isles by invaders like the Angles and the
Saxons.

The English language was strongly affected by Latin
in a couple of ways.  First, it was affected by the Norman Conquest of 1066.  When the
Normans came, they brought the French language which was, of course, descended from
Latin.  This influenced English greatly.  Second, when scientific learning increased in
the Renaissance and after, Latin (and Greek) words were increasingly
used.

Finally, English has borrowed from many, many
languages in more recent years.  Examples of this are words like "pajamas" which the
English got from their dominance of India.
