english is germanic
anglo saxons, who are also germanic
swedes who are also germanic
french indeed, who are franks and therefore also germanic but... they speak a latin vulgate derivative.
and all germanic languages are in turn indo european so the declension sounds similar. You just got /int/ 101
Word origin matters too, don't let people steal the meaning through ignorance of the etymology.
A nice example is Apostasy, transliterated from Greek, but in english means heresy, more or less, but means "stand in rebellion against"
Apo: away from / opposition to
stasis: rebelliosu stand
