Why English language is called English?

The English language is named after the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who migrated to Britain in the 5th century AD.

Here's a breakdown:

* Angles: This tribe, along with the Saxons and Jutes, invaded and settled in Britain after the Romans left.

* Angleland: The land where the Angles settled became known as "Angleland," which eventually evolved into "England."

* Old English: The language spoken by the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes became known as "Old English," which is the ancestor of modern English.

Therefore, the language spoken by the people of England, a land named after the Angles, came to be called "English."
