English is a language of West Germanic language, which was first used in England in the early Middle Ages, and eventually became the main language of international discourse in 2 1 century. It was named after Angles, one of the ancient Germanic people, who later moved to Great Britain and was named after their name England. Both names are derived from Anglia in the Baltic Peninsula. English is most related to Frisian and Lower Saxon, but its vocabulary has been greatly influenced by other Germanic languages (especially North Norwegian), Latin and French.
