What is Old English?
Old English (Anglo-Saxon) was spoken in England from approximately 450 AD to 1150 AD. This highly inflected Germanic language is the ancestor of modern English but differs significantly in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
The language evolved from the dialects brought to Britain by Germanic settlers, primarily the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. It flourished during the Anglo-Saxon period and was later influenced by Old Norse and Norman French, eventually evolving into Middle English and then Modern English.
