The origin of English: The earliest language recorded in history was Celtic around 500 BC. In 55 BC, the Romans invaded Great Britain and remained in occupation for about 500 years. Latin entered the region and became the official language, and the status of Celtic declined. Around 449 AD, three Germanic tribes living in Denmark and northern Germany took advantage of the decline of the Roman Empire to invade the island of Great Britain. They were the Angles (who invaded the central part of the Jutland peninsula), the Saxons (who invaded the southern part of the Jutland peninsula) and the Jutes (who invaded the northern part of the Jutland peninsula). Linguistically, they replaced the Celtic language spoken in the area at the time. These three Germanic tribal dialects evolved socially and gradually merged into a new language, Anglo-Saxon, which was the basis for the English language that was later formed. By 700 A.D., the mixture of the three tribes on the island of Great Britain was called Englisc, and by 1000 A.D., the entire island was called Englaland, which evolved into English and England, the historical origin of the words English and England.

Third, the international status of English: English is the most widely used second language in the world today, and the most important international language, with more than 300 million people around the world using English as their native language. In China, English education is also in full swing, and English education is an important course in the Chinese national education program.
