About this listen
Ever wondered what the English you speak every day originally looked like? And where it actually came from?
In this episode, we’re digging into the real roots of Old English.
Back in the 5th to 7th centuries, three main Germanic tribes—the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes—came over to Britain.
They didn’t all speak the exact same language, but their West Germanic dialects were close enough to understand each other.
As they settled down, mixed, and interacted, a brand-new language was born—that’s Old English.
This language really showed off its Germanic roots.
Today, we’ll explore how these tribes traveled, set up the first kingdoms in Britain, and how their different dialects came together to create the earliest form of English.
