Consequences of the Battle of Hastings 
for the English language
  • French became the official language 
Language of the church: Latin 
Language of the state: French 
  • Until the 14th century English was only spoken and not written: 
- a lot of conjugations were lost, a complex language changed into a relatively simple language 
- many French words gradually entered the language. Now about 40% are loanwords from the French language 
  • Stories, romances, ballads from French origin were taken over in literature
