			'''Middle English''' is the stage in the [[history of the English language]] during the [[High Middle Ages\|High]] and [[Late Middle Ages]], or roughly during the four centuries between the late 11th and the late 15th century.

			Middle English develops out of Late [[Old English]] in [[Norman England]] (1066–1154) and is spoken throughout the [[Plantagenet era]] (1154–1485).
			The end of the Middle English period is set at about 1470, when the [[#Chancery Standard\|Chancery Standard]], a form of [[London]]-based English, began to become widespread, a process aided by the introduction of the [[printing press]] to England by [[William Caxton]] in the late 1470s. By that time the variant of the [[Northumbria]]n [[dialect]] (prevalent in [[Northern England]]) spoken in southeast [[Scotland]] was developing into the [[History of the Scots language\|Scots language]].
			The language of England as used after 1470 and up to 1650 is known as [[Early Modern English]].

			Unlike [[Old English]], which tended largely to adopt Late [[West Saxon dialect (Old English)\|West Saxon]] scribal conventions in the period immediately before the [[Norman conquest of England]], written Middle English displays a wide variety of scribal (and presumably dialectal) forms. This diversity suggests the gradual end of the role of [[Wessex]] as a focal point and trend-setter for writers and scribes, the emergence of more distinct local scribal styles and written dialects, and a general pattern of transition of activity over the centuries that followed, as [[Northumbria]], [[Kingdom of the East Angles\|East Anglia]], and London successively emerged as major centres of [[literature]], each with their own particular interests.

			Middle English literature of the 12th and 13th century is comparatively rare, as written communication was usually in [[Anglo-Norman]] or in [[Middle Latin\|Latin]].
			Middle English becomes much more important as a literary language during the 14th century, with poets such as [[Chaucer]] and [[William Langland\|Langland]].
