The beginning of the english language is attributed to

English began with the languages spoken by the German people who from the fifth century occupy present-day England, with emphasis on the Anglos and Saxons.

Explanation:

English comes from the languages spoken by the German people who from the fifth century occupy present-day England, especially the Anglos and Saxons. The language that began to be born in the British Isles from then on is called "Old English", "Anglo-Saxon" or "Englisc" in its original meaning "Anglo language".  The vocabulary of the language will evolve gradually, and with the introduction of Christianity comes the first influence of Latin and Greek words. Later Scandinavian invaders who spoke Old Norse (a language that probably resembled the dialect spoken by Anglo-Saxon peoples) will also influence English. Old English is a language preserved in different sources, such as runic inscriptions, complex Bible translations, and miscellaneous fragments.
