The History of the English Language using the article of Tabitha Hergest

History is everything… tomorrow this day will be history…

In the article of English History of Tabitha Hergest, the main topics that are explained are the origin of the English Language, hoe the art and the religion had influence in the spread of English and how the English came from the Germanic languages.

England is a derivate of Angle, who are the race of people from what is now Germany. The roots of the English language spoken by these people - especially given that the Angles were a very elitist people who would not mix with the indigenous Celts.

 An important part of the history of the English Language is that the Church also played part on the spread of English. The Church used its Latin antecedent as a legacy of its establishment at the conversion of the Emperor Constantine in 315ce. In that time the official language was the Latin, and this facilitate the spread and use of the English Language.

Another important fact was the last conquest of England that was at the hands of the French Vikings, the Normans. The Normans changed the official language of state from Latin into French, but later the Plantaganets desired to integrate the English Language, that was the local language. . Naturally, all this had its effect on the language, although the influence of French is not as keenly felt as that of Latin.

Not only the religion and the wars played an important role in this history, also the art was an important tool that helped to spread the language. In the Renaissance the literature had a great increase of the spread of the languages in this case English. One of the most important writers of that movement was Shakespeare. He gave to the English lots of idioms that made the English vocabulary more complete.

No a day’s an important fact that is causing that the English Language have different variations are the abbreviations used from English Native speakers, like ya get me dou? This is making more difficult for some people to learn a correct way of talk in English.

I think that articles had good content but my opinion is that she described everything using his point of view and in this case an objective point of view is better for the article. I also think that the author need to show the sources that she used unless that she based her article in her live experience and if this is the case, does she have the title of this subject? But in general this was a good article.
