Latin influence in English
Although English is classified as a Germanic language, it has been strongly influenced by Latin—primarily in its lexicon. Even though the grammar and core vocabulary of English are inherited from Proto-Germanic, a great deal of English vocabulary comes from Romance and Latinate sources. The vast majority of these borrowings come either directly from Latin or indirectly from Norman French and, later, Modern French; there are also a few borrowings from Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Other borrowings have come from Gothic or Frankish via French, or from Greek via Latin.
