Solution

The formation of English language can be traced back to the Anglo Saxon period. Old English was derived from the Germanic languages. It was also influenced by Latin after the spread of Christianity. With the Norman conquest of 1066, English came under the influence of the Norman French. A large number of English words are therefore, of French origin. Over the years, English has been influenced by several languages that have enriched its vocabulary.
