The document discusses the history and evolution of the English language from its beginnings as Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century AD. It details how Old English transformed into Middle English through the heavy influence of Norman French following the Norman conquest of 1066, and how Middle English then gradually developed into Early Modern English over the 14th to 15th centuries. The passage also notes the important role of William Caxton's printing press in helping standardize the English language from the late 15th century onward.
