When you stop to think, it’s incredible the number of words borrowed in different languages. I read the language which has borrowed most words to others languages is Latin, because there are a lot of scientific words that are build from the scientific name in Latin. Also, the Latin influence
was stronger because was very extended period. Nowadays with the tendency to use
English like only one language to travel, International
bussines
, navigate in internet, etc. English loaned a lot of words in our languages. Searching information from the language which has less borrowed words, I found
Chinese with an only 2%, due to their
complicated alphabet with signs.
