Why is most of the English language derived from Latin and Greek?
This is a good question. English is considered a Germanic language, yet over 60 percent of all English words have Latin or Geek roots, and a whopping 90-plus percent of science and technology jargon is based in Latin or Greek. How can this be? English has its roots in the 5th Century AD migration of certain Germanic tribes from the European mainland to the British Isles and Scotland. Their mixture of tongues became known as Anglo-Saxon, which over the centuries developed into modern English. But by the 1500's English was only in it's early-modern stage, while classical Latin and Greek had become international languages, much as English is today. And like modern English, which has entered almost every other language in the world, so early English became influenced by Latin and Greek. This influence intensified with the western Renaissance, a 300-year period of secular learning and science lasting from about 1300 to 1600. The sciences borrowed heavily from Latin and Greek vocabulary. In fact, most Latin and Greek borrowings into English date from after the year 1500. In a colorful analogy English is painted as an Anglo-Saxon tree with Greek and Latin ornaments hanging from the branches. So many ornaments that it sometimes can be hard to see the tree underneath.
