PHPConf.TW 2012: A step to better PHP

The document discusses the history and evolution of the English language from its origins as Anglo-Frisian dialects brought to Britain by Anglo-Saxon settlers in the 5th century AD. Over time, the language was influenced by Old Norse during the Viking invasions and later by Norman French following the Norman conquest of 1066, gaining vocabulary from both. Modern English began emerging in the late 15th century after the invention of the printing press allowed written English to become more standardized.
