About this listen
English is now a global language, but how did it all start on the island of Britain?
In this episode, we’re going way back to the 5th century.
Back then, the Celts were the first known people living there, calling that land home for over a thousand years.
Then the Anglo-Saxons—Germanic tribes that the Romans called “barbarians”—showed up, took over, and became the new rulers of the island.
What’s really surprising is that Celtic, the original language of this homeland, barely left a mark on English later on.
This episode uncovers a hidden part of history—how the Anglo-Saxons pushed the Celts aside and kept their language alive only in a few place names.
We’ll dive into how English grew out of those Germanic dialects and why Celtic’s influence is so faint, solving the mystery of where English really comes from.
