Re the linguistic changes in Britain- heres a link to an oldish article asking why the English don't speak Welsh...http://hildegard.tristram.de/media/tristram_manchester_30-07-07.pdf
In fact, in Welsh, we have a lot of pre Conquest Latin words- pont (bridge). llurig (lorica), ffenestr (window, French fenetre) eglwys (church, eglise) etc etc. Not to say that Welsh is a Roman language- just that it has a large number of loan words.
