Evolution of English

The evolution of English, from its roots in Proto-Germanic all the way to Modern English! Late Modern got left out as that's largely a dialect or even mere accent, for as you can tell even Shakespeare is arguably Modern English, and I also didn't give the outside influences of Old Angevin and Old/Middle French since they were more minor than Norman and it would make the video quite a bit longer.

You can get an AB merch t-shirt right here! I've bought two myself, can't wait to receive them!
