No, not at all. English is a Germanic language. It evolved from West Germanic and is still closely related to other Germanic languages such as German, Dutch, and Norwegian. The reason why we have so many words of Latin origin is that we have taken in a lot of foreign borrowings from the French, but the core of the English language is still very much Germanic.
