Much of English is foreign



Much of English is foreign



The English Language is an eclectic mix of Indo-European, old Norse, Greek, Latin, German, French…(and other sources). Many everyday words come from afar, such as jodhpurs after the Indian city, chocolate from Aztec, anorak from Eskimo, aficionado from French, embargo from Spanish, and so on. To this day new words are added from diverse sources and goodness only knows what will happen to text language, OMG I hope not, TIME, CU Wordsworth. To think that the rest of the world is also using these acronyms, I mean can’t they think up their own?
