A frenchman was once travelling in England. He did not know English quite well. He could speak only a little. One day he was eating in a small pub and he wanted to order eggs. But he didn’t know the English word for eggs.
Suddenly through the window he saw that a rooster was walking in the yard. He asked the waiter what was the English for a “roster”. The waiter told him. The frenchman then asked what was the English for a “rooster’s wife”. The waiter told him that it was a hen. Next the frenchman asked what was the English for “hen’s children”. The waiter told him that they were chickens. The frenchman asked what chickens were before they were born. The waiter told him they were eggs.
“You’ve explained everything very well,” the Frenchman said. “Please bring me two eggs and a cup of coffee.”

The influence of the Norman Conquest on the English language
The conquest of England by the Normans began in 1066 with the battle of Hastings, where the English fought against the Normans. The conquest was complete in 1086. Who were these Normans who conquered England?
They were Vikings or 'Norsemen', men from the North. Some 150 years before the conquest of England they came to a part of France, opposite England, a part which we now call Normandy.
What did the Norman Conquest do to England?
It gave it French kings and nobles. The Normans also brought with them the French language. After the Norman Conquest there were three languages in England. There was Latin, the language of the church and the language in which all learned men wrote and spoke; the kings wrote their laws in Latin for some time after the Conquest. Then there was French, the language which the kings and nobles spoke and which many people wrote. Finally, there was the English language which remained the language of the masses of the people. Some men might know all these languages; many knew two; but most of the people knew only one. There Were some people who understood the French language though they could not speak it. Rich people who owned land, the landowners, often knew French and Latin. But poor people, the peasants did not understand French or Latin. They understood only English.
In time, however, came the general use of the English language. About 1350 English became the language of law; and at that time lived the first teacher who taught his boys to read and write English and to translate, not from Latin into French, but from Latin into English. Then between 1350 and 1400 lived Wyclif who made the first complete translation of the Bible into English, and Chaucer, 'the Father of English poetry.
But the English language when it came into general use was not quite the same as it was before the Conquest. The grammar remained, but many words came into it from the French language.
Перевод:
Влияние норманнского завоевания на английский язык
Завоевание Англии норманнами началось в 1066 году с битвы при Гастингсе, где англичане сражались против норманнов. Завоевание было завершено в 1086 году. Кто были эти норманны, завоевавшие Англию?
Это были викинги или "норманны", люди с Севера. Примерно за 150 лет до завоевания Англии они пришли в часть Франции, противоположную Англии, часть, которую мы теперь называем Нормандией.
Что сделало с Англией нормандское завоевание?
Это дало ему французских королей и дворян. Норманны также принесли с собой французский язык. После норманнского завоевания в Англии существовало три язык а. Существовала латынь, язык церкви и язык, на котором писали и говорили все ученые люди; короли писали свои законы на латыни в течение некоторого времени после Завоевания. Потом был французский, язык, на котором говорили короли и вельможи и на котором писали многие. Наконец, существовал английский язык, который оставался языком народных масс. Некоторые люди могли знать все эти языки; многие знали два; но большинство людей знали только одного. Были люди, которые понимали французский язык, хотя и не могли на нем говорить. Богатые люди, владевшие землей, землевладельцы, часто знали французский и латынь. Но бедняки, крестьяне не понимали ни французского, ни латыни. Они понимали только английский.
Со временем, однако, пришло общее употребление английского языка. Около 1350 года английский язык стал языком права; и в то время жил первый учитель, который учил своих мальчиков читать и писать по-английски и переводить не с латыни на французский, а с латыни на английский. Затем между 1350 и 1400 годами жили Уиклиф, сделавший первый полный перевод Библии на английский язык, и Чосер, "Отец английской поэзии".
Но английский язык, когда он вошел в общее употребление, был не совсем таким, каким он был до завоевания. Грамматика осталась, но многие слова пришли в нее из французского языка.
