Playing with the words I learned.

After having found some words with various origins and roots, write a paragraph including 10
of those words. Mark them in bold letters so I will know which words you used.

Plenty of words integrated in Modern English changed because of the crossover of various
peoples. The English language underwent numerous modifications due to invasions,
migrations and conflicts in the British Isles, which led to the settlement of classifications such
as Old English, Middle English, and Modern English according to the progressive evolution
of the language in different epochs. On one hand, the arrival of the Angles, Saxons and
Jutes in the British Isles determined the Old English period since these peoples spoke West
Germanic dialects, shaping the English language after conquering the Celtic population. As
a consequence different aspects of the language remain from them. The language was
shaped according to their necessities; words such as “apple”, “sheep”, “earth” and
“sword” arose during this period. Afterward, the Romans conquered Britain and introduced
Latin writing, reading and speaking, terms like “organisation” and “victory” stem from the
lexicon of imperial governance, legislation and military abilities. Then the Vikings invaded
Britain bringing Germanic and Scandinavian languages (Old Norse), and some words
including “Thursday”, “Wednesday” and “berserk” started to be used, mainly the days of
the week and some warrior vocabulary remain from them not only because of their beliefs,
but also because of their warrior culture. Subsequently, after the Battle of Hastings, the
Normans arrived in Britain and introduced French vocabulary to the upper class, thereby
incorporating words such as “aboard” and “pork” into the English language. Many of the
words have arisen from the interplay of language and culture among these peoples over the
course of history, particularly during the Old English period. As evidenced, these influences
persist within Modern English.
