Dialects of the Old English language
The first peoples of England of whose language we have a definite knowledge were the Celts.
Formerly it was supposed that the arrival of the Celts to England coincided with the introduction
of bronze on the island. But the use of bronze probably preceded the Celts in several centuries.
We have already described the Celtic languages in England and have drawn attention to their two
divisions, the Gaelic or Goidalic branch and the British branch.
Celtic was probably the first Indo-European language spoken in England. Another language,
Latin, was spoken quite extensively over a period of about four centuries before the arrival of
English. Latin was introduced when Britain became a province of the Roman Empire. Because this
was an event that left a significant mark on later history, it will be good to consider it separately.
The arrival of Latin in
Britain
Archaeological evidence indicates that the language was
used in southern England before the Roman invasion of 43
AD.
