English is a very recent langauge: it developed its modern form gradually between the fourteenth and sixteenth centuries (middle English to early modern English period).
Latin reached its classical form (the form which is considered the 'purest') sometime in the second century BC, but was already a written language in the sixth century BC.
So English is about six hundred years old, or maybe a little less; Latin is about two thousand three hundred years old, or maybe a little more.
