THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
The English language belongs to the language family known as Indo-European. But English is an unusual language in the Indo-European family because it really comes from three different languages: German, Old Scandinavian and French. The English tribes first came to Britain in the 5th century. They spoke a kind of German. So most of the ordinary words of English come from German, for example, man, house, and, summer.
Later tribes from Scandinavia attacked Britain. These Vikings, as they were called, brought many Scandinavian words into the English language. The verb get and words beginning with sk come from Old Scandinavian: sky, ski, skate.
The biggest change in the language came in 1066. This year is very important in the history of Britain; this is the year of the Norman Conquest. The Normans came from across the English Channel, from France. They conquered Britain under the head of their leader, who later got the name of William the Conqueror. The Normans brought to Britain not only their king, but their French language as well. So, such French words appeared in English as language, parliament, hotel, example.
English has borrowed words from other European languages, too. We get guitar from Spanish, bank from Italian and robot from Czech. In science there are a lot of words from Greek like, helicopter and from Latin, like temperature. English has also taken words from countries further away. Pyjamas and bungalow come from Indian languages. Tea comes from Chinese. Coffee and sugar come from Arabic.
As you see, English has been a great borrower of words. Today a lot of languages borrow words from English.

1. The English language belongs to the language family known as Indo- European.
