Is English a Latin language? Some sources say that 60% of English words came from Latin but English is considered a Germanic language due to the origin of main words (pronouns, prepositions, adverbs) and the grammar. I found these very common English words that came from Latin: Just, people, face, quiet, language, school, port, naive, box, erase, joke, question, merge, delete, prior, assets, avail, deserve, very, carry, suit, exit, joy, poor, print, scissors, actual, gender, record, letter, part, voice, peace, doctor, rate, noun, idea...
