Hi Phoebus, I think English has so many different sources, French, German, Nordic, etc because there was a time when England was simply invaded by any old group of Continentals who had a spare weekend and were bored. Angles, Saxons, Gauls ?, Romans, Vikings, Danes etc etc - no wonder the language is so hard to learn.
(I'll probably get shot for that !)
