When this began to pa away, and it became evident that the tongue of the conquered rather than that of the conquerors was destined ultimately to prevail, it was not the old Anglo-Saxon pure and simple which remained. There came in place of it various dialects, specially a Midland, a Northern, and a Southern one. It was a mixed dialect, mainly Midland, but also slightly Southern, which with Chaucer, in the fourteenth century, became the standard language; and at last, by a series of insensible changes, developed into the modern English tongue.
