The first invasions were by a people called Angles about 1,500 years ago.The Angles were a German tribe who crossed the English Channel.Later two more groups crossed to Britain.They were the Saxons and the Jutes.These groups found a people called the Celts，who had lived in Britain for many thousands of years.The Celts and the invaders fought.After_a_while，most of the Celts were killed，or made slaves.Some escaped to live in the area that became Wales.Through the years，the Saxons，Angles and Jutes mixed their different languages.The result is what is called Anglo-Saxon or Old English.Old English is extremely② difficult to understand. The next great invasion came from the far north beginning about 1,100 years ago.Fierce people called Vikings came from Denmark，Norway and other northern countries.Many English words used today come from these ancient Vikings.Words like“sky”，“leg”，“egg”，“lift”and“take”are from the old languages of the far northern countries.
