But it has never been the case that English was the only language spoken on this island.

Key Points: 
  • But it has never been the case that English was the only language spoken on this island.
  • Old English, the earliest ancestor of the modern English language, was a relative newcomer to Britain.
  • The Old English language was initially joined by other Germanic languages including Old Norse and Frisian.
  • They had such an impact on the English language that it shifted to a new stage of development known as Middle English.

Impact of Germanic migration

  • The language the Anglo-Saxons spoke after their arrival, Old English, belongs to the Germanic language family, and it too was quickly influenced by Latin as these pagan people converted to Christianity.
  • From the late 8th century, groups of Scandinavian raiders who spoke a different Germanic language (Old Norse) and have come to be known collectively as Vikings were also a significant presence in Britain.
  • Many common English words such as kid, stench, egg, yard, skirt, anger, fight, law and knife were originally borrowed from Old Norse.
  • Speakers of the Germanic Frisian language, who came from a region that now includes the coast of the Netherlands and north-western Germany, formed a significant community in pre-Norman Britain.
