The Anglo Saxon Period

 449 - 1066

The Island of Britain - the original home of the Brighton's is invaded by three German Tribes:  The Angles, The Saxons and The Jutes. 
This changed the culture, the language and the history of the known world forever!

And why do people speak English there today? Any idea? 
How does language evolve? 

Share your thoughts.
