This guy is amazing at his job

A hearty salute to this respectable guru in Linguistics and Education ~and other fields ~~ Thank you! (a bow~)

Concision and intellectual rigor: an astounding accomplishment on KZread.

So clear and nicely explained. It took me back to my years at college in Argentina, when I took a course of studies in Translation. Thanks!

thank thou, o yeng bachelor, thine wisdom found i indeed enlightening, long live prof. Handke

To avoid an endless debate here, let me say the following about the pronunciation of the sample passages from earlier periods of English: They were all pronounced using the sound systems compiled from peer-reviewed books such as Charles Barber's "The English Language - A Historical Introduction". The samples from EMnE were additionally discussed with our literature colleagues prior to recording them (see our joint video on sonnets: kzread.info/dash/bejne/d5170quiqtHUitY.html). Additional advice was given by David Crystal (my former teacher) during GAL conference 2014, and we also took video sources such as "Shakespeare - Original Pronunciation" by David Crystal and his son Mark: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mYSg0tKhhJrUadY.html. Jürgen Handke, July 2015

The Virtual Linguistics Campus And now you have removed my second comment. Absolutely disgraceful behaviour from someone who is supposed to be a professor in a free democratic open society. Utterly reprehensible, utterly disgraceful behaviour.

Thanks for the motivating comment.

i was originally so frustrated because i kept reading about this and still not understand it. i'm so glad to found this video, very helpful! thank you

He's such an amazing Professor

A mere thank you isn't enough, good Sir! My students are going to love it!

Excellent presentation! One key thing missing: the influence of Old Norse from the Viking period on the development of English. Many Old Norse words we use every day in English - including the days of the week, among others.

Your videos are awesome and extremely helpful when studying for exams! Thank you :)

Great videos:) thank you, this made it easier for me to study for the finals, finally I understand linguistics.

Amazing! So glad for having seen it, thank thee :)

This was extremely well done!

Clear and easy to understand. Very good video, mister!

When he was reading those old and middle english passages I thought it was an audio recording at first, then I realised it was him speaking it effotlessly. Wow!

Wonderful and thorough explanation. Really enjoyed it.

Superb. Thank you. I will show this video to my students.

thank you for this very nice video. it is simple, educating, and tutoring.

It's amazing, he cleared all my doubts , hearty wishes

Excellent video. Concise, clear, and very informative!

Thank you very much for doing such a wonderful video on the history of English.

Thank you for the very clear explanation. This video of yours is more easy to understand than the lesson (of course, regarding about english language histort too) that we have in class.

I do enjoy this course. Please, I need some more

I watched your video several times and with great attention. You are an EXCELLENT Analyst on the linguistic issues you are referring to. Great information!!! Thank you!!! That's why I put a ''like''! If I could, I would put more ''like'' because you deserve it!!! ❤ However, I will dare to make a small point, in terms of the influences that the English language has received ..... making an addition about the great influence of the Greek language on English, meaning the huge number of Greek words in the English language, something that is verified by the OXFORD Dictionary!!! Incidentally the words you use, for example: Phonology, Morphology, Syntax, Analytic, Period, European, Christ (someone who is anointed for a purpose), Legions, Chaos, History, Historical, Geographical, Synthetic, Political, Dramatic, Aristocracy, Catholic, Poetry, (Zephirus, Melodye, Nyght, from the short excerpt from ''The Canterbury Tales'', so before the Renaissance and not as you mentioned , there were Greek words in old English language), Syntactic, Classical, Lexis and others, are Greek!!! (Also the ''Promethean'' at the beginning of the video.) By the way, I would like to point out that these words are not ancient, but are used as they are from antiquity until today. I would not dare to try to refer to the Terminology of any kind of Science, (Scientific Terms), most of which are Greek, because I would have to write for days. (Also the German language contains a huge number of Greek words!)

Great . Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge to us.

Yup, that should prove quite useful to me! Thanks!

A fantastic lecture! Thanks very much!

This is very useful. Thank you

this is well-made! thx! I do appreciate it!

Unfortunately there is no recognition for the oldest language Tamil, the under rated dark horse. There are plenty of not only English words which relates either directly to Tamil language or seeped deformations through various intermediaries like Sanskrit, Greek or Latin etc into English. Examples Button is actually a Tamil word pronounced as Pothaan for thousands of years. Sponge = Panju actually used to refer cotton. Pipe= Pazhuppu in Tamil Paleo was actually Pazhaya or old in Tamil. Betrothal is actually a Tamil word Petror ( Parents)+ Oppudhal acceptance) Petroropputhal. Puddings = Puttu Red comes from Ratham Emperor Empire comes from Embiran means great ruler of a vast area. "Thol""tholai" is used in Tamil to refer distance which gradually became Thel and later as tele and used in words like telephone(Tholaipesi), television (tholaikatchi), telegraph and telegram. Doosu became Dust Payattu Tamil word becomes Fight. Theyyal, theyyalar becomes Tailor. Thechu becomes Stichu and stitch. Thachchar, thachachan becomes Thachar surname in England i.e Margret Thacher whose ancestor's were actually Roof Makers and stiching leaves and branches to make roof was their profession. Earlier roofs were made by stiching leaves together and placing on the roofs. Kalvettu becomes culvert in English Kurippu becomes Skurippu and later script. Oppari a kind of dance drama Tamil becomes Opera Thadhai of Tamil becomes daddy in English. Mandooram of Tamil gradually became Mound, Mount, mountain etc. Montenegro Kalainjium becomes Colosseum in Italian and English language Congee= porridge, water with rice; Originated from Tamil and Malayalam Kanji Coir= From Tamil kayiru Catamaran = From Tamil Kattumaram Kattu means tied up, Maram means logs. Cot from Tamil Kattil Ginger from Inji in Tamil. Sugar and Jaggery. Long etymology. Attu (8)+ Kara (Arms)+Aaram (Circle) Attukaraaram->Atkararam->Satkararam->Satkaram->Sakkaram. Contd... Sakkaram means wheel in Tamil. Wheel with eight arms. Sakkara (Wheel)+ Arai (Grind,Ground) in Tamil. The one which is ground by wheel. (Sugar cane ground by wheel becomes Sugar. Sugar gradually deforms into sukkar, shakkar, Jaggery etc. Mango from Tamil Maangai Pagoda from Tamil word Pagavadi i.e A house for a diety. Teak a Tamil word Theykku or teku. Cash from Tamil word Kaasu. Even words like Casino, Casanova etc. Eight from Tamil word Yettu. One is from Tamil word Ondru. Victory from Tamil word Vettry All English words having TERRA comes from the Tamil word Tarai. Tarai means Ground, floor or in a larger sense a place or an area. Territory, Terestrial, Extra Terrestrial. Extra itself Ex + Terra means above normal level. Ultra means something beyond normal level of cognition. Still there are hundreds of words not only in English but in almost all parts of the world which needs deep study. The very word England itself has a Tamil origin. The earliest settlers first landed in an arc shaped or Angle shaped land in the extreme east coast and called it as anguli Tarai (Tharai) meaning angled place and they were Anguliars or Angulitaraiyars. That place got named later as Angula Nadu which gradually deforms as Angulnad, Anguland, England, England! Also the very word Etymology can be broken up as Aathi or Aadhi + Moola+ Alasi or Aalosi. Aadhi means first or earliest. Moolam means root or origin. Alasi means to check deeply or research. Even Aalosi means to probe deep mentally. Aadhi moola alasi = Aadhimoolalasi= Aathimoology = Etymology. Peychu of Tamil deforms to Spea hu then Speach. Aaku becomes Maku later Make Tamil "Peedu" becomes Speedu and Speed. "Matirai" becomes Meter "Peedu Matirai" becomes Speedometer. Urundai of Tamil becomes Round. Naagam becomes snake. Ilamanjal Kai becomes Lemon Urul becomes Roll. Urundai becomes Round. Moolakuru becomes Molecule. Koll in Tamil = Kill in English Itara becomes other in English Parisu becomes Prize in English Arisi of Tamil becomes Rice Vaadu of Tamil becomes "Fade Allan of Tamil becomes Aqua. Pala becomes Poly. Miga and Magha of Tamil become Mega. Mudir becomes Mature. Isaipadu becomes Accept Paathai becomes Path Vazhi becomes way Kiribati becomes Grain Narambu becomes Nerve Butti , Buttil becomes Bottle Illam ,Illu becomes Villa Surungu becomes Shrink Pazhuthu becomes Fault Adam becomes Adamant Uddan becomes Sudden Vendi becomes want Kai pattru becomes Capture Tirugi becomes Torque Alavu becomes level Madamai becomes Mad Kaani becomes Cawney Surutu, churuttu becomes Cheroot Kalvettu becomes Culvert Copparai becomes copra.

Archeological and genetic evidence shows that on the whole the Anglo-Saxons did not replace the Britons in England, but rather the conquered Britons adopted the Anglo-Saxon language in a similar fashion to the way the Irish adopted English in the 19th Century.

DNA is one thing, linguistics another. The genes may have been more Celtic than the language, but the kids in AD 500 were like, “Dude, this Anglo-Saxon language is the thing.” Except they said it in Old English, so it sounded weirder than that. This is why in 2100 everyone will talk like a text message, and people who speak with complete words and spell correctly will obviously be old and out of touch.

Alex Plante The Irish didn't 'adopt' English. They were bludgeoned into using it . Also the genetic evidence does indeed show proof of a large scale Anglo-Saxon influx, with a distinct genetic difference showing up between Wales and England.

VC YT . Researchers have studied the Y-chromosome, which is passed unchanged from father to son, and looked for certain genetic markers. They found that the English and Frisians studied had almost identical genetic make-up but the English and Welsh were very different. Here is an article and a quote from it " _Our results indicate the presence of a strong genetic barrier between Central England and North Wales and the virtual absence of a barrier between Central England and Friesland_ " mbe.oxfordjournals.org/content/19/7/1008.full

Question on the choice for calling Anglo-Saxon Language, Old English: who made that decision about that naming? When was that decision made? What is the linguistic foundation of that choice ? Thanks for your channel. I have just become a follower.

A study of language brings a study of history.

This is good as a broad overview but is a bit lacking in details. You are telling me who had certain influences on English and when, but you aren't getting into the details of what those influences were. How precisely did the language evolve in each period and what were the causes? I do love that you included examples of the language in use at various points in its development! If I might suggest also including the year (if available) that the example came from.

die Völkerwanderung, during the 5th Century, when the Germanic tribes of the Angles and the Saxons walked towards Britain passing Friesland in The Netherlands, making contacts with the Frisians, marrying them and continuing to Britain...thus making English and Frisian look alike: cheese-tsiis, butter-bûter, green-grien, etc.
