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...

No, it's a Germanic language with a strong latin influence due to the Renaissance and Norman Invasion. Structurally, English is Germanic. Vocabulary on the other hand is loaned from every different part of the world. That has been one of the biggest advantages of English is its adaptability. It takes the best words from all over the world and implements them into the language.
