    About 30% of the English words come from French.

    The origins of the English language are a topic that linguists like to debate. Although English is a Germanic language, it shares many words in common with French, a Romance language.

    The Norman Conquest of 1066 was a key event that led to the use of the French language in England. After the Norman Conquest, England was ruled by the Normans, who spoke a northern form of Old French called Anglo-Norman French (anglo-norman french). Under the rule of the Nopibmans, Anglo-Norman French began to influence the administrative, legal, and cultural language of England, and thus the English language.

    Since then, a number of phrases and words from French have found their way into English. French is not the only language that influences English. There are also a lot of Spanish words in English, and there are even a lot of Japanese words in English.

    Examples of English words from French:

    Allowance is derived from the Old French word alouance (payment).

    Apostrophe is derived from the French word apostrophe

    The word attaché comes from the French word attaché (attached).

    apéritif is derived from the French word apéritif
