If the Anglo-Saxon invasion never happened, how did the English language become dominant over the Celt languages?
English DNA contains Frisian DNA, and it's obvious the English launguage developed from Frisian as well. But if it wasn't an invasion, it must have been a mass immigration.
Was Baede a liar? Thoughts??

It was both but ethnic replacement levels were around half in eastern England. Many Celts were kept as slaves and peasants.

It must have been a peaceful invasion, then, because no archeological evidence of the invasion can be found, meanwhile evidence of the Roman, Danish and Norman invasion are all evident.

So what you're saying is that it's not the first time a culture of peace has taken over Britain "peacefully".

I believe the "invasion" did happen, but it wasn't a genocide or anything. Just gradually won out.
