	THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE -- OLD ENGLISH NOTES: (ANGLO-SAXON)
		English is the most widely spoken of the Western Germanic languages, both in number of native speakers and in geographical distribution.
		In later centuries the English vocabulary has become vastly different from the vocabularies of other Germanic languages, which is due to the massive borrowing of words from non Germanic sources (mainly Norman French) and changes in the sounds as a result of isolation from the continental Germanic languages.
		In Belgium Dutch is spoken in the region of Flanders and in the city of Brussels.

	Borrowed Words
		Borrowing of words can go in both directions between the two languages in contact, but often there is an asymmetry, such that more words go from one side to the other.
		Generally, the longer a borrowed word has been in the language, and the more frequently it is used, the more it resembles the native words of the language.
		But many are borrowings from other languages, as words from European high culture begin to make their presence felt and the first words come in from the earliest period of colonial expansion.
