PART B_2

Language changes over time. In English, spelling, vocabulary, and pronunciation have gone through major changes over the centuries. In fact, modern speakers consider the English of 1,000 years ago as a foreign language.

The history of English began around 1,500 years ago. European groups invaded England, bringing their languages with them. These languages gradually developed into Old English. In 1066, the country was again invaded by the Normans from France, causing the language to go through a shift, leading to what we now call Middle English. Over the next 500 years, the English language underwent more shifts, eventually evolving into Modern English.

Pronunciation is one of the most distinct areas of change in the language. For example, people used to say “hus” and “mus” in Old English, but these words are now pronounced “house” and “mouse.” Additionally, there are variations of English pronunciation in the US, the UK, Australia, and elsewhere. When people who speak the same language live in different places, it undergoes a rapid change in each location.
