		However, it was the Normans' English-speaking followers who colonised the conquered lands and brought their language to Wales.

	AND: Anglo-Norman: A Brief Introduction
		Possibly it is something of a misnomer: the specifically Norman traits of the language found in England are neither overwhelmingly dominant, nor are they the only dialectal elements which are discernible in documents written in French in England.
		It is far safer to think in terms of a range of speakers from various dialectal backgrounds, by no means all Norman; since their speech is of course not recorded, the diversity of it (both regional and social) is equally unattested.
		But in parallel with the development of Anglo-Norman as a 'language of record' (Michael Clanchy's term), at first accompanying, later ousting Latin, before the advent of English which in its turn displaced Anglo-Norman, the language became less and less of a true vernacular, and increasingly an acquired, second language.

		English is descended from the language spoken by the Germanic tribes, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes (Vikings), that began populating the British Isles around 500 AD.

	"Language" Defined & Explained
		On the subjugation of England by William the Conqueror, the French Norman language was substituted in all law proceedings for the ancient Saxon.
		The Norman or law French, however, being more familiar as applied to the law, than any other language, the lawyers continued to employ it in making their notes of the trial of cases, which they afterwards published, in that barbarous dialect, under the name of Reports.
		In changing from one language to another, many words and technical expressions were retained in the new, which belonged to the more ancient language, and not seldom they partook of both; this, to the unlearned student, has given an air of confusion, and disfigured the language of the law.
