It should be noted that all words used in English, if they are not "original" to English, are, in a broad sense, loanwords. Since the vocabulary of this part is too large, especially the many intersections between English and French, we cannot explain it in this short article, and we will leave it to a separate article.

English belongs to the Indo-European languages, including India, Languages of West Asia and Europe. Many of the English words currently in use are "borrowed" from non-Indo-European languages. In a narrow sense, they are loanwords in English.
