 | | This is assumed to be a result of the aftermath of the Norman invasion where a French speaking elite were the consumers of the meat, produced by English speaking lower classes. | | | English is a West Germanic language which is the dominant language in the United Kingdom, the United States, many Commonwealth nations including Australia, Canada, Malta and other former British colonies. | | | The former kind of syllables are said to be accentuated/stressed and the latter are unaccentuated/unstressed. |

| | French as a mother-tongue in Medieval England |
| | It is important to know that there were various dialects of French being spoken on the continent at this time and throughout the middle ages. | | | This is a well-organized book that breaks up six hundred years into five periods that helps put changes into historical perspective. | | | Firstly, that the language of the government was not the language of the people, and ergo, that French, even as a second language, had fallen out of fashion and remained the language of only a few. |

| | The Domination of French in England |
| | (40) It is true that both of these men were foreigners, one a Burgundian, the other a Norman, and the fact of their not knowing English is set down by contemporanes as something worth noting. | | | We have already remarked that the use of French was not confined to persons of foreign extraction, but that all those who were brought into association with the governing class soon acquired a command of it. | | | This event was the Norman Conquest in 1066. |

| | Many believe that Dgernesiais is not a language in its own right, they see it as a form of deformed French, or at best a dialect/patois of it. | | | In February of 1995 a group of young people met in order to discuss the possibility of forming an association to encourage those who speak Dgernesiais to do so and to promote the language in general. | | | This conclusion is illogical as no two languages are governed by the same set of rules. |

| | The Norman Conquest |
| | As opposed to this rather extreme view, G. Bourcier suggests that neither the peasants, the city dwellers nor the lower clergy spoke French. | | | If they ever were bilingual, at a particular time of the history of the English language, it was rather at the time of the Scandinavian invasions. | | | The new king decided to annihilate the nobility, as they had been hostile to him, and to replace them by Norman vassals. |

| | French language |
| | Contrary to a misunderstanding common in the American and British media, France does not prohibit the use of foreign words in Web pages or any other private publication, which would anyway contradict constitutional guarantees on freedom of speech. | | | French is the 11th most spoken language in the world, spoken by about 77 million people (called Francophones) as a mother tongue, and 128 million including second language speakers, in 1999. | | | French is one of Canada's two official languages, with English; various provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms deal with the right of Canadians to access services in English and French all across Canada. |

| | Article about "Middle English" in the English Wikipedia on 24-Apr-2004 |
| | This is attributable to the introduction into England not just of a new language, Norman French, but of new political structures which relied upon that language. | | | England became more closely tied politically to feudal western Europe, and became trilingual: French became the language of the king and the nobles, Latin the language of the priest and professor, and English the language of the people. | | | Bit by bit, the wealthy and the government anglicized again, though French remained the dominant language of literature and law for several centuries. |

| | languagehat.com: ANGLO-FRENCH. |
| | Up to the present time there has been no unequivocal acknowledgement that as a result of the events of 1066 there can be no rectilinear approach to the history of English as there is to the history of French. | | | Dialectal variations were not lacking, but all were dialects of the langue d'oil, what has become modern French. | | | That the Norman Conquest profoundly affected the vocabulary of English is no new discovery, but the precise nature of that transformation has so far been only imperfectly examined and its implications for the study of English etymology only partially understood. |
