English is said said to be a hospitable language, because a large number of foreign have taken up too much room in it.English is widely known for itscosmopolitan vocabulary. Many words from many different languages have been adooted and adopted to English. The biggest foreign source of the English vocabulary is, however Latin.For example, words like climax, appendix, epiyome,exterior, delirium and axis have their latin form.The second biggest source of the English vocabulary is French. For example, words like crown,state,government, reign,royal and many other governmental and administrative words in English have their French origin.Words from other languages also are available in English. For example words like brandy, golfy,duck, measale and wagan are from dutch. English has borrowed words like balcony, canto, opera, piano and umbrella from Italian.. Gteek has contributed to English with wordslike acme, acrobat, anthology, catastrophe and chronology.Words from Vodka,ruble and drosky have come from Russian. Sny good etymological dictionary of English will show that English has borrowed a lot of words from hebrew, arabic,hindi, bangla, Malay,chainese and many other languages. Words like sari, dhoti, ghee, shahib, mem are now found in English dictionaries. Their is hardly any language in th world now from which English has not borrowed words.
