Actually English is more of a hybrid language since it has more words borrowed from other languages then German.

Ehh... we have different languages largely because of them being developed independently (no interaction) or influence from other languages (with interaction). It is still a germanic language with a structure of one.

Structually its a germanic language for sure but it still has more words borrowed from other languages and words with romantic language roots then any other germanic language.  Which is a good thing since that makes it the most poetic and musical germanic language.
