English has borrowed from over 350 languages

English is exceptionally unusual among world languages in the breadth of its borrowing. Over 60% of English vocabulary derives from French and Latin — largely because of the Norman Conquest in 1066 — while the core everyday words (house, bread, water, go, is) are Old English of Germanic origin. The result is a language with vast near-synonymous vocabulary at different registers: kingly/royal/regal (Old English/French/Latin), ask/question/interrogate, holy/sacred/consecrated. English has borrowed from over 350 languages, including Arabic (algebra, alcohol, sofa), Hindi (shampoo, pyjamas, bungalow), and Nahuatl (chocolate, tomato, avocado).
