LOL fair.
There are fewer than ten words the English picked up from the indigenous languages of the British Isles. Even indigenous Australian languages contributed more.
English has stolen far more vocabulary from cultures they admired - French, Latin, Italian, Greek, Arabic and even a few thousand from Sanskrit-derived languages.
They really, really didn't respect the Welsh and Irish...
