English is a mixture of many different languages. Because of this, the vocabulary of the English language is very large. It is much larger than almost any other language in the world.
Many English words came from Latin, the old language of Rome, and Greek. From Latin we get words like "wine", "us" and "day". From Greek we have words such as "photograph"," Bible" and "ink". Because these two languages are extinct, the words have more often come through other languages such as French, or the German language. There are also words from both Greek and Latin combined— "television", for example, "tele" is Greek for "far" and "vision" comes from Lation meaning "seeing".
Many common English words came from other different places. "tea" is from China, "banana" from West Africa, "potato" from the island of Hati(海地), in the West Indies, and "tomato" from Mexico. One reason why the English language has so many words from other languages is that many nations have invaded Britain before. Two thousand years ago Romans came from Italy, and stayed for over four hundred years. After they left, came the Anglos (盎格鲁人), Saxons (撒克逊人) and Jutes (朱特人) from the northern part of Germany. In the ninth and tenth century Scandinavians invaded the northern and eastern parts of the country. Finally, in the eleventh century William Normandy(诺曼底) came from France, and became the King of England. Thus the French civilization and the French language were introduced into Britain.
