Is English a German word

Answer 1

Yes. English is a Germanic language.
Old English as was spoken around 900 CE was very different to modern day English.
English as we know it changed a lot after the Norman conquest after which lots of words of French (and hence Latin) origin were imported.
Most of the more common words in English are Germanic (rather than French or Latin), whereas a lot of legal, scientific and medical words are of Greek or Latin origin.
The words "warm hearty welcome" are Germanic, whereas "cordial reception" are Latin in origin. These examples give an idea of the distinction between how Latin words add a more official flavour, whereas Germanic ones can sound more common or homely.Many words related to chemistry and science though are of Germanic descent.

Answer 2

The vast majority of words in the English language are of Germanic origin.

English is a West Germanic language that originated from the Anglo-Frisian and Lower Saxon dialects brought to Britain by Germanic settlers and Roman auxiliary troops from various parts of what is now northwest Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands in the 5th century. One of these Germanic tribes was the Angles, who may have come from Angeln, and Bede wrote that their whole nation came to Britain, leaving their former land empty. The names 'England' (from Engla land "Land of the Angles") and English(Old English Englisc) are derived from the name of this tribe.

English has also been influenced by the Germanic languages of the Danes, Vikings, Franks.
