The earliest known residents of the British Isles were the Celts, who spoke Celtic languages-a separate branch of the Indo-European language family tree. Over the centuries the British Isles were invaded and conquered by various peoples, who brought their languages and customs with them as they settled in their new lives.

The earliest time when we can say that English was spoken was in the 5th century CE (Common Era-a politically correct term used to replace AD).
