The truth is, and to be honest, English is really a hybrid language, since it is impossible to say that it is a purely Germanic language, considering the strong influence of Latin. The vocabulary in English is 60% Latin and the grammar is 38% Latin (disproving the legend that English grammar is 100% Germanic) (data from BBC London by renowned philological studies from universities such as Cambridge, Stanford and Yale). Considering the above, the influence of Latin is colossal and undeniable. English is a hybrid language and that makes it great.

The English language:

1- It uses and depends on the Roman alphabet (in my opinion this is a fundamental reason for being a hybrid language.
2-His vocabulary is 60% Latin.
3- Its grammar is 38% Latin (denying the legend that its grammar is 100% Germanic). Other sources state that it is 39% Latin.

Therefore, it is philologically impossible to consider the English language as a Germanic language. English is really a hybrid.
