             The English Language to most people is how to communicate from day to day with others. People who speak the English Language wonder "how did this all start and who started it all?" My essay will explain the english language and the fine attributes people have contributed to our wonderful way of communicating. The rise of english is a remarkable story. When Julius Caesar landed in Britain nearly two thousand years ago, English did not exist. Five hundred years later, Englisc, not comprehensible to the human ear, was probably spoken by about as few people as currently speak Cherokee and with about as little influence. One of the earliest westward migrations was made by people who descendants now live in Cornwall the highlands of Scotland, Ireland, Wales and Brittany: The Celts these Gaelic speaking tribes were natives of the British Isle long before the English.The Celtic Britans had the misfortune to inhabit an Island that was highly desirable both for its agriculture and for its minerals. The early history of Britain is the story of successive invasions. One of the most famous was the landing of Julius Caesar and his legions in 55BC. After a difficult start, the Roman Empire kept the British tribes in check or at any rate at bay beyond Hendrons wall. The evidence of the splendid palace at Fishbourne near Chichester, suggests that many Celtic Britons become Romanized.The tribes which now threatened the Celtic chiefs of Britain were Germanic, another form of the Indo European migration. The Romans at this point made the Celts bear any type of weapons or arms making them a more peaceful nation.
