Many factors contributed to the development of this new type of English. Despite this fact, French still had an impact on the English language. After the Norman Conquest, upper class people spoke French while common people spoke English. However, this is not the end of the changes in the English language. The question of whether English will continue changing in the future is easy to answer. It is certain that this process will continue, and people will keep inventing new words and new ways of saying things. The Chinese language differs from many western languages in that it uses characters which have meanings and can stand alone as words.
