Latin
 Latin has been the most important source for English
vocabulary.
 As much as 17% of our active word stock is Latin.
 The first words loaned from Latin to English occurred during
contact between the Romans and the Germanic tribes and
through the adoption of Christianity and the translation of
religious and literary texts from Latin into Old English.
 During the Renaissance, Latin was an active second
language for many educated people.
 Even in modern times, Latin has remained one of the most
common sources of English borrowing.
 English has traditionally borrowed Latin words and phrases
from specific contexts such as law, religion, and science. As
that exposure to Latin diminishes, so does the rate of
borrowing.

 More than 10,000 French words were borrowed during
the Middle English period.
 French was the principal language of culture and
civilization in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in
Europe.
 French words and phrases are often perceived as elegant
and educated.
