Why does English use so many words from so many languages?

English has other words from other languages because it comes from Latin. Latin is a dead language but still lives on in most European languages today, which is what most people speak from Colonization, and their native words also mixed in with Europeans, like how Avacado is actually from the First Nation language Nahuatl from Mexico. The word Barbecue is also from South America (Arawakan), and how the phrase "mumbo jumbo" comes from the west African god Maamajomboo.

Hope this helps. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great Valentines Day and Black History Month! :-)
