The English language is brought to Britain

Abstract

In the middle of the 5th century Britain had been a province of the Roman Empire for over 400 years, and was governed from Rome. The official language of government was Latin. It would have been spoken not only by the Roman civil officials, military officers and settlers, but also by those Britons who served under the Romans, or who needed to deal with them. The term Romano-British is used to describe those ‘Romanised’ Britons and their way of life.
