古英语的发展与现代英语的区别，要求用英文介绍并且附有汉语翻译

Old English, or Angle-Saxon, is an early form of the English language that was spoken and written from 450AD to 1100AD. It is a West Germanic language within the Germanic branch of the Indo-European language family. The languages of Germanic invaders (the Angles, Saxons and Jutes) from the Continental Europe shaped the Old English into being.

Old English differs from Modern English in a number of features: vocabulary, spelling, grammar, and pronunciation. Its grammar is more closely related to the grammar of Germanic languages. Old English is richer in morphological diversity than Modern English.

At the end of Roman rule in 410AD, the Germanic tribes (the Angles, Saxons and Jutes), which were from present-day northern Germany , began to settle in Britain and their languages later developed into the Old English language.

Linguists often categorize the history of English language into three periods: Old English, Middle English and Modern English.

Old English nouns are declined according to their cases, genders and numbers. There are five major cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative and instrumental), three genders (masculine, feminine and neuter), and two numbers (singular and plural). The grammatical gender of a noun does not necessarily correspond to the natural gender of the thing it refers to. For example, "wīf" (woman) is neuter and "wīfman" (woman) is masculine; and nouns that refer to inanimate objects are often masculine or feminine.

Old English nouns are divided as either strong or weak. As in nouns, Old English adjectives can also be declined into strong or weak, the five cases, two numbers and three genders.

There are just two tenses, present and past, in Old English.

P.S.
- 这不是直译. (抱歉, 我译得有点马虎, 详情见"喂鸡")
- 英国向世界殖民是16世纪以后的事, 当时已经不是用古英语和中古英语的时代.
- instrumental后来融入到dative里, 然后消失了.
- 动词说得好像太简化, 最麻烦的是动词才对.

Būddendōm is lēas ǣ āsett on Būddan (sē ālihted) þēawum and lārdōme. Būddendōm is weorðlic godlēas ǣ.认识不？？？古英语！！！和现代英语有点相像。Būddendōm 就是 Buddhism（佛教）
就跟西班牙语跟英语似的，实在不建议你学。。。。。。
