Most English words have come from four other languages: Anglo-Saxon, French, Latin and Ancient Greek. The language spoken in Britain in the first century b.C. would have been a Celtic language, similar to the Gaelic languages that are still spoken today in Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Brittany in northwest France. During the first century a.D., Britain was ruled by the Romans, who brought with them their own language: Latin. Celts and Romans lived together and their two languages probably influenced each other for the next 300 years. If you have read the comic books about Asterix the Gaul, you will know something about this period in France. Torsten - Learning coach
