Well,
English is a language and it was the first poem by Geoffrey Chaucer aka “The Father of English” Chaucer was born in London most likely in the early 1340s. But who wrote English? The answer is not one guy it was the Anglo-Saxons Settlers( I think I will post a blog about them sooner or later ). After the Norman Conquest English was replaced for a while by the Anglo-Norman/Anglo-Norman French( A relative of French ), this was the end of Old English and Middle English, influenced by the Anglo-Norman. Middle English was aided by the invention of the Printing Press by Johannes Gutenberg so after a long, long, long period Modern English came and is used right now.
