At the time of the Old-English language, a formed English dialect continuum with the western languages on the European mainland. The dialect speakers on the mainland and those on the island (England) were able to understand each other, but since then the language on both sides of the English Channel, because of the geographical separation and the Norman influence, so far apart, that today no longer exists a dialect continuum.

The Anglo-Saxon language split in the 5th century of continental west-german, when the Anglos, Saxons and Juten settled in England.
The Danish and Norwegian immigration by the 8th century, the English language over the old-saxan language also integrates numerous Scandinavian elements, but only in the middle-english texts appear in large numbers. Large parts of the latinum language has also been added.
