The Middle English dialects displaced the Old English dialects under the influence of Anglo-Norman French and Old Norse, and were in turn replaced in England by Early Modern English. During the Middle English period, many Old English grammatical features either became simplified or disappeared altogether. Like English, Middle English is classified as a Western Germanic language within the Indo-European language family. enm enm enm enm ENM false ENM 1950-05-09 ENM
