Before 1066 ,in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups .In the west-central region lived the Welsh ,who spoke a Celtic language ,and in the north lived the Scots ,whose language ,though not the same as Welsh ,was also Celtic.In the rest of the country lived the Saxons ,actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons,and other Germanic and Nordic people ,who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English ),a Germanic language .If this state of affairs had lasted ,English today
