The History of the English Language by Lucy Rucker

The Topic of this article is the History of the English and the audience can be English learners, native speaks, teachers or everyone who is interest. The purpose of this article is to make ourselves known to all English history and the tone can be formal because it shows us the history and academic because it help to us as English learners. English seems to come from a Germanic Tribe in the fifth century who arrived to Britain. English is divided in 3 Old, Middle and Modern English. The Old was a reflection from the Anglo-Norman-French, but the Old English almost got lost although in some places is still spoken in other forms because that language form is too difficult so it has change for good.  Then is the Middle English that born somewhere between the twelfth and the fifteenth centuries. Here the language had an evolution and words change in spelling and grammar and in some cases the word disappear. And then is the Modern English that is the one we use and enjoy the most because it has the final changes and improves. Although Modern English is the easiest one the problem is that words may have a different meaning in different countries. English came directly from Britain and since then the language has change a lot and it will continue changing through times.

This article is interesting maybe not for the information because maybe we need to have more information about the changes of the language and the different types of English but in opinion it’s perfect. And she is absolutely right in the fact that although you know the English maybe another one who speaks too in another country won’t understand exactly what you said because it changes with the place and that also makes to learn the English difficult as a second language. Something that caught my attention too was that if the English is changing too much right now what will occur in a future, because that will means that the language will be too different and some words will simply disappear.

All I had read is really true simply because when I go to United States like McAllen or Laredo, I understand almost everything but when you enter more to U.S.A. it is really difficult to me to understand sometimes and all of this is because of the change of the words in different zones. But on the other side this change it is not only for bad, also for good because before in the old English words were too different and that would make to some people that want to learn it as a second language difficult so in conclusion the change is not that bad.
