English Language Essay

Sometimes you hear people speaking the English Language or so do you, but have you ever asked yourself what is it’s origin?
English is a Germanic language and it comes from the Indo European family. This language started in the fifth century AD. There were three Germanic Tribes from which the English Language arise.
