The Story of Modern English

The story of modern english is really the story of the convergence of the latin speaking omens from italy, the germanic speaking tribes from northern europe, into an area previously occupied by celtic speaking people in britain. The history of these three groups is essential to our story, and really essential to the overall history of western europe. But for now, let's look back to the danube valley, where we probably still have the ancestors of the latIn speakers.
