How over a thousand years of population movements to these islands have affected the way we speak.

Detalles de la lección

English has been described as a 'mongrel' language - several languages all mixed up together into one. How did this happen?


In this lesson we will look at the story of how, over more than a thousand years, different groups of people came to the British Isles, bringing with them their own vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, and how this led to the English language that we know today.
 

Which words that you use every day came from the Anglo-Saxons? What place names survive today from the language of the Celts? How did the Norman Conquest of 1066AD shape the way we speak? What additions have more recent arrivals brought to the language?
