The history

 It's never easy to pinpoint exactly when a specific language

began, but in the case of English we can at least say that there is little sense in speaking of the English language as a separate entity before the Anglo-Saxons came to Britain. Germanic invaders came and settled in Britain from the north-western coastline of continental Europe in the fifth and sixth centuries.
