Words from which language began to enter English vocabulary around the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066?

  • A. French
  • B. Norwegian
  • C. Spanish
  • D. Hungarian
View Answer

The answer is A. French.

The Norman Conquest of England in 1066 by William the Conqueror had a significant impact on the English language. French became the language of the ruling class, while Old English remained the language of the common people. This interaction led to a large number of French words entering the English vocabulary.

Here’s why the other options are incorrect:

  • B. Norwegian: While Vikings did raid and settle parts of Britain before the Norman Conquest, their influence on the language was much less significant than French.
  • C. Spanish: Spanish had little to no direct influence on English during this period.
  • D. Hungarian: Hungarian belongs to a completely different language family (Uralic) and wasn’t geographically close enough to England to have a notable impact on the language
