The earliest form of English is called Old English or Anglo-Saxon (c. 550â1066 CE). Old English developed from a set of North Sea Germanic dialects originally spoken along the coasts of Frisia, Lower Saxony, Jutland, and Southern Sweden by Germanic tribes known as the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes.
The Middle English period ended about 1470, when a London-based dialect became the main standard (Chancery Standard), aided by the invention of the printing press.Unlike Old English, which adopted similar writing customs, written Middle English displays a wide variety of scribal forms.The language of England, as used after 1470 and up to 1650, is known as Early Modern English.By that time, the variant of the Northumbrian dialect (prevalent in Northern England and spoken in southeast Scotland) was developing into the Scots language.ate Middle English and the transition to Early Modern English took place from the early 15th century and is taken to have been complete by the beginning of the Tudor period in 1485.
