This is difficult, if not impossible to answer. It started out as a diversion of the Anglo-Frisian people who settled in Britain. Mostly of Germanic, Scandinavian, and Norman French origin with a heavy sprinkling of words from Greek and Latin, it is now spoken worldwide as the first language of over 300 million people. The original date for it is however, impossible to say.

Answer You would also need to ask the question, "which English"? Old, Middle, or Modern?

The English language originated in the 5th century AD with the arrival of three Germanic tribes in Britain: the Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes. These tribes brought their language, which eventually evolved into Old English.
