He was English...but the language he spoke had grown and even made its way to the continent.

If you read his works, and those of his contemporaries, you will find wonderful examples of "thou and ye" conjugations. Also, some of those lingering grammar questions that most English students of when they ask "why?"

You really begin to see the connection between English and its Germanic history.

Actually they use lembra (emphasising on the a, the -taa marbutah-) to mean woman, which one could say was borrowed from Spanish hembra.

Ah, that's right, thanks. I KNEW there was some word that was similar.
