who invented english?

Answer 1

English is just one of the many languages that evolved from the languages of the Germanic tribes. Around the 4th and 5th century some of the Western Germanic tribes from northwest Germany (Saxons, Angles,Jutes, Frisians) invaded Great Britain, and displaced the previous Celtic language from the centre part of the island with their own. That became the Old English language. That in it's turn became influenced by the surrounding Celtic languages and the Old Norse from the invading Vikings.

After the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, many Old French, Latin and Greek words entered the language. That became Middle English.

During the 15th century, around the time of Shakespeare, we see the beginning of Early Modern English.

Later on came words from the English colonies, from Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Tagalog, Native-American languages, etc.

And every new immigration wave added it's own layer of new words to Modern English, and it still evolves.

Nowadays it's estimated that Modern English consists
of :

- 28 to 40 % Old French
- 10 to 28 % Latin
- 10 to 33 % Old English
- 5 to 10 % Greek
- 2 % Danish
- 1 % Dutch
- 1 to 10 % other languages

So in some sense, English isn't an invention, but rather an international experiment.

Enhlish is a descendant of Middle English and then Old English which was brought over to Britain about the fifth century AD by the Angle, Saxon, and Jute tribes.

Answer 3

Languages are not invented they evolve over time.

Answer 4

English is a descendant from the Germanic Languages, along side with GErman, and the other Scandinavian Languages. The Anglo saxons(Anglo; meaning angel where the Name of the Language and the country came from), whom were the original inhabitants of England were first to use English, which was different from the one we use nowadays.
