The English language is the language used by the people of England, and by all who speak like them anywhere else in the world; for example, in the United States. 2. There are hundreds and hundreds of different languages in the world, and the only way we can define any one of them is to say: "It is the language used in such and such a region, or by such and such people." The people from whom our language gets its name are those living in England. Their forefathers came to that country from the northern shore of Germany, about 1500 years ago, and drove out or destroyed the people who had lived in the country before, and who had spoken a very different language (much like what the Welsh, the language of Wales, is nowadays). 3. Because the English language was brought from Germany into England, being then only a dialect of German, it is still very much like the languages of Germany, and is for this reason often called a GERMANIC language (or a TEUTONIC, which means the same thing). And all the Germanic languages, along with most of the others in Europe, and a part of those of Asia, form a great body of languages resembling one another, and hence called a family"—the INDO-EUROPEAN (or the ARYAN) family. 66 4.
