While many words enter English as slang, not all do. Some words are
adopted from other languages; some are mixtures of existing words
(portmanteau words), and some are new creations made of roots from dead
languages: e.g. thanatopsis. No matter the origin, though, words rarely, if ever, are immediately accepted into the English language. Here is a list of the most common foreign language influences in English, where other languages have influenced or contributed words to English
