Over 15000 words are French, not including direct French, au contraire, for example.
Every word ending ION is French, with I believe, Translation being an exception( traduction)
Also much of the way we form words and speak, come from French.

Estimates are between 50 and 70% is French origin

But the big question is how many of both are derived from Latin...?

I bet the French and English both hate the fact that so much of their language is Roman?
