sorry, if i'm off topic but looks like everyone is.
Although English has a great deal of Latin in its vocabulary, it is a Germanic language. It was brought to what is now England over 1500 years ago by three closely related tribes from northern Germany--the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes.If you studied Old English (the form of the language spoken until about A. D. 1100), you would see that its grammar is very similar to that of German and that there's very little Latin in it.
