During more than 13 centuries of its growth, the English language has come into contact with the languages of the world since they settled in England.
All the languages, the English people have come into contact with since then have left permanent marks on the English vocabulary almost without exception.
some contacts have been deep and lasting like those of Ancient Rome while some have been casual and not very great in their influences.
English has added so many foreign loan words to its word-stock during the process of its growth and development.
As a result of all these, today, English has the most copious, heterogeneous and varied vocabulary of all the world languages.
The present thesis aims to show how the English language has added and enriched its vocabulary by the loan words through the history of its growth and development.
