English letters: English letters come from Latin letters. It is said that these letters were simplified by ancient Phoenicians according to the hieroglyphics of ancient Egypt, and each letter represents a thing. It was introduced into the Mediterranean around 1000 BC and eventually became a Greek alphabet. The Greeks changed the original writing from right to left to left, and some letters became reversed. Later, the ancient Romans used geometry to standardize these Sheila letters, so they were also called Roman script or Roman letters. The script used by the Romans is the script of the Latin nation from Greece, that is, Latin. Latin has only 2 1 letter, which was used by English people to spell words at that time. With the expansion of the Roman Empire, there were more and more foreign words, and the original letters were not enough, so Y and Z were borrowed from the Greek letters and placed behind the English alphabet. In the Middle Ages, the original Latin letter I was divided into J, V was divided into U, and two V's were combined into W. This combination became 26 letters of modern English.
English: In 500 BC, the Celts invaded the island of Great Britain. Celtic is the earliest recorded language on the British Island, and it is still used by ethnic minorities in northern and western Scotland.
In 449 AD, three Germanic tribes living near Denmark, the Angles, Saxons, Saxons and Jutes, invaded Britain. After a century and a half of conquest, the original Celtic residents were almost extinct. These three tribes all use the common language of the ancient Germanic peoples. At the beginning of the seventh century, these three Germanic tribes gradually became a unified English nation, and their dialects gradually merged, resulting in a language called Anglo-Saxon, that is, Old English.
Early Latin scholars unified these three tribes with Li Ang and called old English Englisc;; By 1000, the whole of Britain was called Angleland, which means "the land of the Angles".
With the development of the times, the pronunciation and spelling of the language have changed, so English and England have become English and England today.
