In a way, we can't really say with any precision. However, English has a very large vocabulary compared to other major world languages, in part from all the borrowing English has done through the centuries. The result is that we have a lot of adjectives. If the total vocabulary of modern English is about 500,000 words, we can suppose that at least 100,000 of those are adjectives.

However, keep in mind that English is a very flexible, adaptable language and that we can create new adjectives at any time by using suffixes or prefixes, or making new compound words, etc.
