    English originated from Germanic languages spoken by Anglo-Saxon tribes who began invading Britain in the 5th century CE. Over centuries, the language absorbed elements from Norse, Latin, and Norman French as the various groups conquered or colonized the British Isles. Today, English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world due to Britain's colonial expansion and the cultural influence of the United States.
