English language was the influence of French language on the English that was spoken
during the time. This is the reason why modern English of today sees its roots in the French
language.
Modern English
Right from the onset of the fifteenth century, this language has taken a big change. This flow
could be seen in the context with pronunciation of vowel. The pronunciation of vowels
became shorter and so it took the form which inhibits most of the countries now in this
modern era. With this change of vowel, started the classical period of the Renaissance, the
Romantic period and after that period, came the Industrial Revolution in Britain, which has
added more to the final evolution of the English language. Although the changes that came
into the English language after the Industrial Revolution is the reason why the name
MODERN ENGLISH has been given to the language. Modern English at present tends to
have a more diverse vocabulary in comparison with the initial version of modern English.
Now, for this evolution, English has become what is called as the official nativelanguage and in most countries around the world. In Anglo-Saxon, the words
tended to end in words that were inflectional and represented their character.
The order of words in the sentence of Anglo-Saxon language to verify the
meaning as it is these days in English. In Middle English, several of these
purposes were dropped and the role that a word represented in a sentence was
determined by the order in which the words were written or said. There are some
differences of course, but a mass structure of the English-speaking environment
is like modern English. Old English had also factors related to grammar, which
the other two had forgotten.
