The Celtics brought an early Germanic type of language to England. Enter the Romans and Latin. So Latin had some influence on the Celtic languages. The Anglo Saxons entered England next & this was almost pure German or Old English. The Vikings came next. The Scandanavian languages are a group of languages originally known as North German. The Anglo-Saxons came out of the group of Middle German or Central German. Southern German went into Southern Europe with the Visigoths & Lombards.
Then came the Norman invasion. What we have here is a Scandanavian influenced French. Keeping in mind that French is one of the Romance Languages or languages derived from Latin.
