Origins of English

The Anglo-Saxon Invasion

Anglo-Saxon Settlement

Inhabitants of England Britons – Celtic inhabitants of the British Isles before the Anglo-Saxon Invasion. Many Britons move North and West upon this invasion to settle in Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Anglo-Saxons – Scandanavian tribes speaking Anglish. They invade the British Isles in the late 400s AD and force the Celts out of England. Normans – Descendants of Vikings, they speak a variant of French. They invade the British Isles in 1066 AD and become the nobility. French is the official language of the throne for several centuries, though French and English languages begin to blend over the centuries.

The Lord’s Prayer in Old English Fæder ure þuþe eart on heofonum si þin nama gehalgod tobecume þin rice gewurþe þin willa on eorðan swa swa on heofonum urne gedæghwamlican hlaf syle us to dæg and forgyf us ure gyltas swa swa we forgyfað urum gyltendum and ne gelæd þu us on costnunge ac alys us of yfele soþlice.

The Lord’s Prayer in Middle English Oure fadir þat art in heuenes halwid be þi name; þi reume or kyngdom come to be. Be þi wille don in herþe as it is dounin heuene. yeue to us today oure eche dayes bred. And foryeue to us oure dettis þat is oure synnys as we foryeuen to oure dettouris þat is to men þat han synned in us. And lede us not into temptacion but delyuere us from euyl.

The Lord’s Prayer in Early Modern English Our father which art in heauen, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth as it is in heauen. Giue us this day our daily bread. And forgiue us our debts as we forgiue our debters. And lead us not into temptation, but deliuer us from euill. Amen.
