How many years of English language?

Your question is a bit too vague for a definite answer. Old English dates back to before 900 BCE, but bears little resemblance to modern English. The Norman invasion in 1066 introduced French to Old English, resulting in Middle English. This is the language used by Chaucer. Modern English was largely solidified during Elizabethan England. A lot of Shakespeare's terms helped to really settle some of the rules we use today. Even so, most of us today have a hard time easily recognizing the English of Shakespeare's time. I suppose you could argue that there's an American English that developed during the time of the Revolution and the founding of the United States.
