Old English

The beautiful ancestral tongue of the English people. It is a West Germanic language, which first arrived in the British Isles with the Anglo-Saxons, and it shares common roots with German, Dutch and Flemish. Its closest relative is the Frisian language of the northern Netherlands.
Old English should be taught as a Second language in English schools.
