Although English, Dutch and German share a common origin, English and Dutch are Low Germanic languages, which differs from Standard German, a High Germanic language. A significant event in the history of the English language occurred after the Norman conquest of England in 1066, when the English lexicon was modified by the large influx of French vocabulary that is still present today.
