"Our journey begins in the 5th century AD, a time of great migrations and upheaval. The Roman Empire had recently withdrawn from Britain, leaving the land open to new influences and settlers. It was during this period that the Anglo-Saxons, a collection of tribes from what are now Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, began to make their way across the North Sea to the British Isles.
The Anglo-Saxons were not a single unified group, but rather a mix of peoples, including the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes. Each brought with them their own dialects, which would eventually blend and evolve to form what we now call Old English.
