		  From what I understand the Saxons were a Germanic tribe from northern

Europe.  The tribe of Saxons that conquered England spoke a dialect called
	


"Anglish".  The English language we use today (in all its vast dialects) is

a mix of Anglish, Norman French and no doubt a bit of Latin thrown in for

good measure ( England was conquered by Julius Caesar)  There are also words

from the far reaches of the empire of the last century.  E.g. Bungalow is an

Indian or Asian word.

 Not surprisingly; English is mostly the language of the Anglo-Saxons, 

 the people who lived in south Denmark and north Germany. 

 Norwegian is a 

 Danish dialect.
