Yeah, like French, Spanish, Portugese etc, they derived from Latin, whereas English derived from the Germanic languages of the peoples who were never conquered by the Roman Empire, those who were known as Angles, and later by Saxons. Throw in a bit of Scandinavian and you're laughing. Until the Norman conquest, when they added a little Franco-Scandinavian in and confused everyone for 200 years.
