> English is the only language adaptable enough that it can refer to itself with a Latin phrase that literally means “French”. lolinder has already pointed out that this is untrue, but I should note that it's also logically impossible - the Latin phrase referring to French would be lingua Latina, the Latin tongue. If you interpret lingua Franca as Latin, you get "the Frankish tongue", which is a variety of Germanic.
