When was middle English created?

Middle English wasn't "created" in a single moment, but rather evolved gradually over several centuries. It's generally considered to have begun around 1150 and lasted until 1485.

Here's a breakdown:

* 1150: The Norman Conquest (1066) had a major impact on the English language. The ruling class spoke French, leading to a blending of Old English and Norman French.

* 1150-1485: This period sees the emergence of Middle English, characterized by a mixture of Old English, Norman French, and Scandinavian influences.

* 1485: The rise of the Tudors marks the end of the Middle English period and the beginning of Early Modern English, which saw further standardization and the emergence of the printing press.

Therefore, while there isn't a specific date for the "creation" of Middle English, it's generally understood to have spanned the period between 1150 and 1485.
