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