Who was it

Have you ever wondered who spoke English first.

 There is no scientific consensus on the identity of the first person to walk on Earth. The earliest known hominin species, Homo habilis, emerged around 2.8 million years ago in Africa. However, it is not clear when or how these early humans developed the ability to speak.

The earliest evidence of spoken language comes from the Upper Paleolithic period, around 50,000 years ago. This evidence includes laryngeal skeletons that are similar to modern humans, as well as carvings and paintings that depict humans in scenes that suggest complex communication.

It is likely that the ability to speak evolved gradually over time, as early humans developed more complex social structures and communication needs. However, the exact timeline of this development is still a matter of debate.

English is a relatively young language, with its roots in the Germanic languages of northern Europe. It is believed to have emerged around 1,500 years ago, when the Germanic tribes of Anglo-Saxons, Jutes, and Frisians invaded Britain.

The first written records of English date back to the 7th century AD. These records are written in the Old English language, which is a very different language from Modern English. Over time, English has been influenced by many other languages, including French, Latin, and Greek.

It is impossible to say for certain when the first person started speaking English. However, it is likely that English developed in England over time, as people from different tribes and cultures mixed and communicated with each other.
