who invented English?

was there a group of people that created the language or was it something that happened over time with no specific group of people? meaning the people that added to the language are did not exist at the same time.

It started off as a grunt..

Olde English emerged from the dialects and vocabulary of Germanic peoples—Angles, Saxons, and Jutes—who settled in Britain in the 5th century CE, English today is a constantly changing language that has been influenced by a plethora of different cultures and languages, such as Latin, French, Dutch, and Afrikaans.
