It is easy across history to have the English vocabulary infected with all kinds of foreign words through invasions etc.

The grammar is much more difficult to fuck with.

Actually, on rethink, I seem to recall the Saxon invasions did make some changes in Anglo grammar. On cursory research, can’t recall details. But think some did happen, to your point.
