G. Latham is a scholarly publication written in the mid-19th century. This comprehensive work examines the structure, historical development, and ethno-linguistic connections of the English language, tracing its Germanic roots and influences from various invader tribes. It aims to provide insights into the grammatical principles and the evolution of English, making it relevant for philologists and linguists. At the start of this publication, Latham introduces the central theme that the English language does not originate from the British Isles but instead derives from continental Europe, particularly Germany. He details the early Germanic invasions, notably by the Jutes, Saxons, and Angles, and discusses their migrations into Britain. This exploration of origins serves as a foundation for Latham's subsequent examination of grammatical structure and language evolution, highlighting significant questions about how these early influences shaped modern English.
