The film "The adventure of English-1.Birth of a language" has introduced the development of English language.It absorbed different languages and cultures,perhaps it is one of the reasons why English has become now the language of million people.Today English circles the globe.The film offers to us to explore how it has became the international language in the 21 century.
1) It is interesting to notice ,that 1,500 years ago on the island "Friesland" people used the language so similat to modern English.We can regognize some words: frost and freeze, blue,butter,bread,sleep,snow.The reason we can recognize these words- the same family of languages- the Germanic family.
2) In 5 century Angles, Saxons ,then Celts came in this territories and brought thier language.Germanic tribes occupied half of Britain and brought new words,with wich we live today.
↵the ending -ing (in the modern place names)- means the people off -Darking, Ealing;
↿ton- means eclosure or a village - Taunton, Chessington)

4)A lot of the words came from Latin.
5)English monk and scholar Bead was the first who wrote about the history of english-speaking people.
6)English mixed with Danish .Now we can hear the echoes of Danes old language in the way people speak.Some danish words stayed as the local dialects: beck is for stream,slattary is for shower.In English "you are sick",in north "you are ill".
7)Old North lanhuage affected the English language more than any other.
8)Now we use prepositions instead of old English words endings.
