      Thanks, but those are only ~150 random words; that’s not enough to be important.

        considering the amount of use a lot of those get (especially in more technical fields), I say it counts

  The core is just proto-Germanic + Latin via French. A bunch of foreign words don't really count.

    They also important some foreign grammar here and there.
