    The origin of English is a bit more complex. It's actually a Germanic language akin to German and Dutch, but because the French-speaking Normans invaded England in 1066, the original Germanic language was merged with the French; on top of that, the Normans brought Latin in the form of laws and the bible -- thus today about 70% of English vocabulary is from Latin.
