Origin and History
The history of English can be described from the arrival of three Germanic tribes to the British Isles in the years 500 B.C. The Anglos, the Saxons and the Jutos crossed the North Sea from what we know today as Denmark and northern Germany. The Anglos received that name due to their land of Engle or Angels origin. They called their own language Englisc, a word that was derived in English or English.
Before the arrival of the Germanic tribes, the inhabitants of Great Britain spoke a language of Celtic origin. These people were forced to move to Wales, Cornwall and Scotland, which is why the Celtic was quickly displaced. A group emigrated to the coast of French Brittany, where their descendants, even today, speak the Breton language, of Celtic origin.
The oldest written sample of the English language is an Anglo-Saxon inscription that dates between 450 and 480 BC. During the following centuries, and as the Germanic tribes expanded throughout the country, four dialects developed:

Northumbrian in Northumbria, north of the Humber River
Mercian in the kingdom of Mercia, in the central part of present-day England.
West Saxon in the Wessex kingdom, in the southwestern part.
Kentish in Kent, in the extreme southeast.
During the 700s and 800s, Northumbria's culture and language dominated Britain. The invasions of the Vikings in the 900s put an end to that domination, and also brought the destruction of Mercia. Only Wessex remained an independent kingdom.
By the tenth century, the dialect of the Western Saxons became the official language of Great Britain. There are samples of Old English that date from this period and are mostly written using the Runic alphabet, which originated in the Scandinavian languages.
The Latin alphabet was brought by Christian missionaries from Ireland and is what is still the English writing system today.
Explicación:
The Old English vocabulary consisted of a mixture of Anglo-Saxon words with words borrowed from the Scandinavian (Danish and Norwegian) and Latin languages. Thus, Latin introduced words such as street (street), kitchen (cheese), cheese (cheese), wine (wine), angel (angel), bishop (bishop), among others. The Vikings in turn added Norwegian words such as: sky (sky), egg (egg), skin (skin), window (window), husband (husband), skill (skill), odd (odd), get (get), give (give), take (take), call (call). The Celtic words still subsist, mainly in the name of places and rivers (Devon, Dover, Kent, Trent, Severn, Avon, Thames).
