      Traces the history of the English language, starting several hundred thousand years ago with the Indo-Europeans. Robert Claiborne then continues with the Anglo-Saxon invaders of England whose language developed into Old English, which in turn slowly developed into Middle English after the Norman Invasion. He also gives an overview of the various dialects of English and slang.
