RE: Basic Ancient Greek Language
English is an interesting language as it borrowed words from other languages. Would you say English probably did more borrowing and more total words than other languages? Officially speaking, maybe not. Unoffically, perhaps if you account for slang, for unoffical words that are added to English each year. Also, if you account for different meanings, variations, and everything to words. For example, Google as a noun and now as a verb. Go Google it. I mean, go google it. Some languages appear not to have suffixes and other affixes. So, as an English Teacher, I used to talk to my students about these things. So, you could count each variation of a root as a different word. But if you focus only on the roots, English still may have more total words than other languages. Unofficially, there are over like a million English words, some say, not counting archaic versions of the modern spelling of some of those words. Also, alternative spelling for different versions of English like British English and American English.
