That would probably be Modern English, both in terms of sheer numbers and in proportion to its own core vocabulary. English adopted a great number of words and some of the grammar of Norman French after the Conquest of 1066, and continues to borrow words today from many sources. Learned terms are commonly borrowed directly from Latin and Greek, but any language may supply words when no English equivalent for them already exists.
