English belongs to the West Germanic branch of the Germanic family of Indo-European languages. It was first used by medieval England and became the most widely used language in the world because of its vast colonies. The Anglo tribe, the ancestor of the British, is one of the Germanic tribes that later moved to the island of Great Britain and were called England.

Both names come from Angeria in the Baltic Peninsula. This language is closely related to Frisian and Lower Saxon, and its vocabulary is influenced by other Germanic languages, especially Nordic (North Germanic), which is mainly written in Latin and French.

English has developed 1400 years. The earliest form of English is a group of West Germanic dialects brought to Britain by Anglo-Saxon immigrants in the 5th century A.D., collectively known as Old English. Middle English began at the end of 1 1, and Norman conquered England.
