Looks like The English had and have a habit of stealing everything in the world... They have done this for ages, looted this country like anything for 200+ years. This culture has gone into their language English too!
The language is made out of words stolen from various words from different languages around the world. I wonder if it has an independent identity...
They have stolen enough words from Indian languages too... Take a look at the list.
