Answer:
<u>The correct answer is Germanic tribes.</u>
Explanation:
1. The history of <u>ancient or Old English</u> can be described from the arrival of three Germanic tribes to the British Isles in the years 500 BC. The Angles, the Saxons, and the Jutes crossed the North Sea from what we know today as Denmark and northern Germany. The Anglos received that name due to their land of origin Engle or Angels. They called their own language Englisc, a word that derived in English.
2. By the tenth century, the dialect of the West Saxons became the official language of Great Britain. There are samples of <u>Old English</u> that date from this period and are mostly written using the Runic alphabet, which had its origin in the Scandinavian languages.
3. The Latin alphabet was brought by Christian missionaries from Ireland and is still the English writing system.
