Menurut sejarahnya, bahasa Inggris berasal dari peleburan beragam dialek terkaityang saling berkerabat, yang saatdi inizaman sekarang secara kolektif dikenal sebagai [[bahasa Inggris Kuno]], yang dibawa ke pantai timur [[Pulau Britania Raya]] oleh pendatang [[BangsaSuku bangsa Jermanik|Jermanik]] ([[AngloAnglia-Saxons]]Sachsen) pada abad ke-5; kata ''English''' berasal dari nama [[Anglessuku Anglia]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/English |title=English&nbsp;– Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary |publisher=Merriam-webster.com |date=25 April 2007 |accessdate=4 November 2012 |archive-date=2015-03-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150325140932/http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/english |dead-url=no }}</ref> SukuBangsa AngloAnglia-SaxonsSachsen ini sendiri berasal dari wilayah [[AngelnAnglia]] (saat ini [[Schleswig-Holstein]], [[Jerman]]). Bahasa Inggris awal juga dipengaruhi oleh [[bahasa NorseNordik Kuno]] setelah [[Viking]] menaklukkan [[Britania Raya|Inggris]] pada abad ke-9 dan ke-10.

[[Penaklukan Normandia di Inggris|Penaklukan Normandiaoleh terhadap InggrisNorman]] pada abad ke-11 menyebabkan bahasa Inggris juga mendapat pengaruh dari [[bahasa Norman|bahasa Prancis Norman]], dan [[kosakata]] serta [[ejaan]] dalam bahasa Inggris mulai dipengaruhi oleh bahasa [[bahasa Latin]] [[Romawi]] (meskipun bahasa Inggris sendiri bukanlahbukan termasuk [[rumpun bahasa RomawiRoman]]),<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/PlainTextHistories.asp?historyid=ab13 |title=Words on the brain: from 1&nbsp;million years ago? |work=History of language |accessdate=5 September 2010 |archive-date=2013-09-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130928225527/http://www.historyworld.net/wrldhis/plaintexthistories.asp?historyid=ab13 |dead-url=no }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.orbilat.com/Influences_of_Romance/English/RIFL-English-Latin-The_Inflluences_on_Old_English.html |title=Latin Influences on Old English |author=Baugh, Albert C. and Cable, Thomas |year=1978 |work=An excerpt from Foreign Influences on Old English |accessdate=5 September 2010 |archive-date=2010-11-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101127073603/http://orbilat.com/Influences_of_Romance/English/RIFL-English-Latin-The_Inflluences_on_Old_English.html |dead-url=yes }}</ref> yang kemudian dikenal dengan [[bahasa Inggris Pertengahan]]. [[Pergeseran Vokal Besar]] yang dimulai di Inggris bagian selatan pada abad ke-15 adalah salah satu peristiwa bersejarah yang menandai peralihan bahasa Inggris Pertengahan menjadi [[bahasa Inggris Modern]].

Selain Anglobahasa Anglia-SaxonsSachsen dan [[bahasa Prancis Norman]], sejumlah besar kata dalam bahasa Inggris juga berakar dari [[bahasa Latin]], karena bahasa Latin adalah ''[[lingua franca]]'' [[Kekristenan|Gereja Kristen]] dan bahasa utama di kalangan intelektual [[Eropa]],<ref name="Weissbort">Daniel Weissbort (2006). "Translation: theory and practice: a historical reader". p.100. Oxford University Press, 2006</ref> dan telah menjadi dasar kosakata bagi bahasa Inggris modern.

Karena telah mengalami perpaduan beragam kata dari berbagai bahasa di sepanjang sejarah, bahasa Inggris modern memiliki kosakata yang sangat banyak, dengan pengejaanejaan yang kompleks dan tidak teratur (''irregular''), khususnya vokal. Bahasa Inggris modern tidak hanya merupakan perpaduan dari bahasa-bahasa Eropa, tetapi juga dari berbagai bahasa di seluruh dunia. ''[[Oxford English Dictionary]]'' memuat daftar lebih dari 250.000 kata berbeda, tidak termasuk istilah-istilah teknis, sains, dan ''[[slang]]'' (bahasa gaul]]) yang jumlahnya juga sangat banyak.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/page/howmanywords |title=How many words are there in the English Language? |website=Oxford Dictionaries|publisher=Oxford University Press|language=bahasa Inggris|accessdate=19-02-2016|archive-date=2011-11-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111130011051/http://oxforddictionaries.com/page/howmanywords|dead-url=yes}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vistawide.com/languages/language_statistics.htm |title=Vista Worldwide Language Statistics |publisher=Vistawide.com |accessdate=31-10-2010 |language=bahasa Inggris |archive-date=2016-11-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161120144244/http://www.vistawide.com/languages/language_statistics.htm |dead-url=no }}</ref>

Bahasa Inggris merupakan bahasa [[Rumpun bahasa Indo-Eropa|Indo-Eropa]] yang termasuk ke dalam cabang [[Rumpun bahasa Jermanik Barat|Jermanik Barat]] dari subrumpun [[Rumpun bahasa Jermanik|Jermanik]].{{sfn|Bammesberger|1992|pp=29–30}} [[Bahasa Inggris Kuno]] [[Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain|berasal]] dari sebuah wilayah [[kesinambungan dialek]] dan budaya di sekujur pesisir [[Laut Utara]] [[Frisia]]. Ragam tutur di wilayah ini secara bertahap berkembang menjadi [[Rumpun bahasa Inggris|bahasa-bahasa Anglik]] di [[Kepulauan Britania]] serta [[Bahasa Frisia|bahasa-bahasa Frisia]] dan [[Jerman Hulu|Jerman Hulu/Saksen Hulu]] di [[Eropa Daratan]]. Bahasa-bahasa Frisia merupakan kerabat terdekat bagi bahasa Inggris dan bahasa-bahasa Anglik lainnya; keseluruhan bahasa ini tergabung dalam subkelompok [[Rumpun bahasa Anglo-Frisia|Anglo-Frisia]]. Ragam tutur Jerman Hulu/Saksen Hulu juga berkerabat dekat dengan subkelompok ini; terkadang bahasa-bahasa Inggris, Frisia, dan Jerman Hulu digolongkan ke dalam subkelompok [[Rumpun bahasa Ingvaeonik|Ingvaeonik (Jermanik Laut Utara)]], walaupun pengelompokan ini masih diperselisihkan keabsahannya.{{sfn|Bammesberger|1992|p=30}} Bahasa Inggris Kuno berevolusi menjadi [[bahasa Inggris Pertengahan]], yang kemudian menurunkan bahasa Inggris Modern.{{sfn|Robinson|1992}} Beberap ragam tutur bahasa Inggris Kuno dan Pertengahan juga berkembang menjadi bahasa-bahasa Anglik lainnya, seperti [[Bahasa Scots|Bahasa Skot]] yang dituturkan di Skotlandia{{sfn|Romaine|1982|pp=56–65}}, atau ragam [[Dialek Fingal|Fingal]] serta [[Dialek Forth dan Bargy|Forth dan Bargy (Yola)]] di Irlandia.{{sfn|Barry|1982|pp=86–87}}

Sebagaimana [[Bahasa Islandia|bahasa Islandia]] dan [[Bahasa Faroe|Faroe]] yang berkembang di kepulauan terpisah dari daratan Eropa, perkembangan bahasa Inggris di [[Kepulauan Britania]] membuatnya terisolasi dari pengaruh bahasa-bahasa Jermanik daratan. Bahasa Inggris pun berubah secara signifikan. Bahasa Inggris tidak [[kesalingpahaman|berkesalingpahaman]] dengan bahasa Jermanik kontinental mana pun, akibat perbedaan dalam hal [[Leksikon|kosa kata]], [[sintaksis]], dan [[fonologi]]. Walaupun begitu, beberapa di antaranya, seperti bahasa Belanda dan Frisia, memiliki kedekatan yang kuat dengan bahasa Inggris, terutama pada tahap-tahap awal pembetukannya.{{sfn|Harbert|2007}}

Bahasa Inggris berasal dari dialek [[Bahasa Ingvaeonik|Jermanik Laut Utara]] yang dibawa ke Britania oleh [[Suku-suku Jermanik|pemukim Jermanik]] dari berbagai wilayah yang saat ini dikenal dengan Belanda, Jerman utara, dan [[Denmark]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Blench|first1=R.|last2=Spriggs|first2=Matthew|title=Archaeology and Language: Correlating Archaeological and Linguistic Hypotheses|pages=285–286|year=1999|publisher=Routledge|isbn=978-0-415-11761-6|url=http://books.google.com/?id=DWMHhfXxLaIC&pg=PA286 |access-date=2014-01-20|archive-date=2023-04-16|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230416141846/https://books.google.com/books?id=DWMHhfXxLaIC&pg=PA286&hl=en|dead-url=no}}</ref> Menjelang periode ini, penduduk [[Britania Romawi]] berkomunikasi dengan menggunakan bahasa [[Brittonik]], [[Rumpun bahasa Keltik|Keltik]], beserta bahasa-bahasa Romawi yang dipengaruhi oleh bahasa Latin setelah pendudukan Romawi yang berlangsung selama 400 tahun.<ref>[httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20140209095822/http://information-britain.co.uk/historydetails/article/2/ ''"The Roman epoch in Britain lasted for 367 years"''], Information Britain website</ref> Salah satu suku Jermanik yang datang ke Britania adalah [[Angles]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.anglik.net/englishlanguagehistory.htm |title=Anglik English language resource |publisher=Anglik.net |accessdate=21 April 2010 |archive-date=2002-06-04 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020604161756/http://www.anglik.net/englishlanguagehistory.htm |dead-url=yes }}</ref> yang diperkirakan pindah seluruhnya ke Britania.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ccel.org/ccel/bede/history.v.i.xiv.html |title=Bede's Ecclesiastical History of England &#124; Christian Classics Ethereal Library |publisher=Ccel.org |date=1 June 2005 |accessdate=2 January 2010 |archive-date=2019-03-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190308011702/http://www.ccel.org/ccel/bede/history.v.i.xiv.html |dead-url=no }}</ref> Nama ''England'' (dari ''Engla land''<ref>{{cite web | url=http://bosworth.ff.cuni.cz/009427 | title=Engla land | work=[[An Anglo-Saxon Dictionary]] (Online) | author=Bosworth, Joseph | authorlink=Joseph Bosworth | coauthors=Toller, T.

Pada awalnya, [[bahasa Inggris Kuno]] terdiri dari beragam kelompok dialek, yang mencerminkan beragam suku yang menghuni [[Inggris AngloAnglia-SaxonSachsen]],<ref>Graddol, David; Leith, Dick and Swann, Joan (1996) ''English: History, Diversity and Change'', New York: Routledge, p. 101, ISBN 0-415-13118-9.</ref> tetapi [[Dialek Saxon Barat (bahasa Inggris Kuno)|dialek Saxon Barat]] perlahan-lahan mulai mendominasi, seperti yang tertulis dalam syair ''[[Beowulf]]''.

Pergeseran linguistik dalam bahasa Inggris setelah pendudukan Normandia menghasilkan bahasa baru yang saat ini dikenal dengan [[bahasa Inggris Pertengahan]]; ''[[The Canterbury Tales]]'' karya [[Geoffrey Chaucer]] adalah karya terkenal yang ditulis dalam bahasa ini. Pada periode ini, bahasa Latin merupakan ''lingua franca'' di kalangan Gereja Kristen dan intelektual Eropa, dan karya-karya ditulis atau disalin dalam bahasa Latin.<ref name="Weissbort"/> Kata-kata Latin kemudian turut diserap untuk menciptakan istilah atau konsep yang tidak terdapat dalam kata bahasa Inggris asli.

Bahasa Inggris berasal dari rumpun bahasa [[Rumpun bahasa Anglo-Frisia|Anglo-Frisia]], subkelompok dari [[Rumpun bahasa Jermanik Barat|bahasa Jermanik Barat]]. Bahasa Jermanik Barat sendiri adalah salah satu cabang dari [[rumpun bahasa Jermanik]], sedangkan Jermanik adalah bagian dari [[rumpun bahasa Indo-Eropa]]. Bahasa Inggris modern diturunkan secara langsung dari [[bahasa Inggris Pertengahan]]; Inggris Pertengahan diturunkan dari [[bahasa Inggris Kuno]], yang juga diturunkan dari [[bahasa Proto-Jermanik]]. Seperti kebanyakan bahasa Jermanik lainnya, bahasa Inggris dicirikan dengan penggunaan [[kata kerja pengandaian]], pembagian kata kerja menjadi [[kata kerja kuat Jermanik|kata kerja kuat]] dan [[kata kerja lemah Jermanik|lemah]], dan pergeseran pelafalan dari [[bahasa Proto-Indo-Eropa]], yang dikenal dengan [[hukum Grimm]]. Bahasa kerabat terdekat dengan bahasa Inggris (selain bahasa-bahasa yang tergolong dalam [[rumpun bahasa Inggris]] dan bahasa Inggris kreol) adalah [[bahasa Frisia]], yang berasal dari pantai selatan [[Laut Utara]] di [[Belanda]], [[Jerman]], dan [[Denmark]].

Vokal-vokal di sini direpresentasikan dengan simbol IPA; daftar vokal RP mengikut daftar vokal standar yang biasa ditemukan dalam kamus-kamus dan publikasi lain yang berasal dari Inggris.<ref>{{cite web|last=Wells|first=John C.|date=8 February 2001|url=https://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/wells/ipa-english-uni.htm|title=IPA transcription systems for English|publisher=University College London|access-date=2021-09-16|archive-date=2018-09-19|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180919182345/https://www.phon.ucl.ac.uk/home/wells/ipa-english-uni.htm|dead-url=no}}</ref>

Bahasa Inggris umumnya dianggap sebagai bahasa yang ritmenya diatur oleh suku kata bertekanan (''stress-timed rhythm''); selisih waktu pengucapan antara suku kata bertekanan dalam bahasa Inggris cenderung konstan.<ref>{{cite web |title=Sentence stress |url=https://esol.britishcouncil.org/content/teachers/staff-room/teaching-articles/sentence-stress |website=ESOL Nexus |publisher=British Council |access-date=24 November 2019 |archive-date=2019-12-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191203092723/https://esol.britishcouncil.org/content/teachers/staff-room/teaching-articles/sentence-stress |dead-url=no }}</ref> Suku kata dengan tekanan diucapkan lebih panjang, sementara suku kata tanpa tekanan (yang berada di antara suku kata bertekanan) dipendekkan. Pemendekan bunyi vokal dalam suku kata tanpa tekanan menyebabkan perubahan dalam [[kualitas vokal]]; fenomena ini disebut juga dengan [[reduksi vokal]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Lunden |first1=Anya |title=Duration, vowel quality, and the rhythmic pattern of English |journal=Laboratory Phonology |volume=8 |pages=27 |doi=10.5334/labphon.37 |year=2017 |doi-access=free }}</ref>

Beberapa dialek memiliki bunyi konsonan fonemis dan fonetis yang lebih banyak atau lebih sedikit dari jumlah bunyi dalam ragam-ragam baku. Sebagian ragam konservatif seperti bahasa Inggris Skotlandia menggunakan bunyi [[suara (fonetik)|nirsuara]] {{IPAblink|ʍ}} dalam kata ''whine'' 'mengeluh', kontras dengan bunyi {{IPA|[w]}} dalam kata ''wine'' '(minuman) anggur' yang menggunakan getaran pita suara. Sementara itu, kebanyakan dialek lainnya menggunakan {{IPA|[w]}} dalam kedua kondisi; ciri ini disebut juga sebagai [[Merger konsonan wine–whine merger|merger konsonan ''wine''–''whine'']]. Bunyi frikatif velar nirsuara {{IPA|/x/}} dapat ditemukan dalam bahasa Inggris Skotlandia, yang membedakan antara pengucapan kata ''loch'' {{IPA|/lɔx/}} 'danau' dengan kata ''lock'' {{IPA|/lɔk/}} 'mengunci, gembok'. Logat seperti [[Cockney]] yang mengalami fenomena "penghapusan ''h''" (''h-dropping'') tidak memiliki bunyi frikatif glotal {{IPA|/h/}}, dan logat yang mengalami "penghentian ''th''" (''th-stopping'') dan "pengedepanan ''th''" (''th-fronting'') seperti [[bahasa Inggris Afrika-Amerika|dialek Afrika-Amerika]] dan [[Inggris Estuari]] tidak memiliki frikatif dental {{IPA|/θ, ð/}}, tetapi menggantinya dengan hentian dental/alveolar {{IPA|/t, d/}} atau frikatif labiodental {{IPA|/f, v/}}.{{sfn|Roach|2009|p=53}}{{sfn|Giegerich|1992|page=36}} Perubahan lain yang memengaruhi fonologi ragam-ragam tempatan di antaranya adalah penghapusan ''yod'' (penghapusan bunyi {{IPA|/j/}} dalam beberapa kondisi), peleburan ''yod'' (peleburan bunyi {{IPA|/j/}} yang membentuk kluster dengan konsonan lain menjadi bunyi sibilan), dan pemupusan kluster konsonan.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Wells |first1=John |title=Accents of English |url=https://archive.org/details/accentsofenglish0000well |date=1982 |isbn=0-521-28540-2}}</ref>
