The present English language is a hodgepodge .For ,
in course of its development from Celtic language ,-the original language of the
forefathers of the English , it shared the Raman language , German languge ,
Scandinavian language , and the French language .
There was
Roman occupation from 43 A.D to 410 .The Celts served the Romans .Then , after the
withdrawal of Roman troops , the Celts were often raided by the Picts and Scots .The
Celtic people to have their seafty invited the Jute ,-a ferocious Germanic tribe .Then
the Jute invited the other two Germanic races ,-Saxon and Angle .It continued from the
middle of the 5th century to the opening of the 6th century .After this the major change
occured from 1066 , with the Norman Conquest .
So , the
Celtic language , through Roman , German , and French language , lost its originality ,
and a hybrid of German and French , came up as the present English language
.
