I think we need to break "English" down to its' basic parts: English aka Anglish refers to something that is "of the Angles". English is a dynamic language - living and breathing the life and times of the people, one of the only languages in the world to so lend itself to the people and their needs.
The English language seems to have first been more or less Germanic. It is vital to realise that the Germanic lingua franca itself bore heavy Latin influences, as the Germanic culture was inextricably interwoven with the Roman culture in the early ADs.
The "Anglish dialect" underwent major "b()astardization" - quite literally - during the Norman invasion of England. Of course, the "Norman language" was the b()astard of Norse and French language. So the language of the English people was now a mixture of Germanic, Latin, Old Norse, French etc. Ultimately, French is no more then another progeny of Germanic and Latin language.
We may safely assume that all of west Europe's major languages are ultimately descendants of the Common Germanic and Western Semitic languages.
