Old English

This language has complex inflections and is close to Old German.

This English has many more Germanic words.

In the early centuries, the old English language was rarely written.

Old English grammar is difficult to write in English.

From 597 to 877

The arrival of St. Augustine in 597 and the introduction of Christianity came to influence the expansion of the vocabulary of the Old English language.

The movement is recognized as: "The words of God'', in 597 AD.

The Vikings almost wiped out the English language (750-1050 AD).

What saved England was the leadership of King Alfred.

Without the king the English language would have become extinct.
