In all of his work - the plays, the sonnets and the narrative poems - Shakespeare uses 17,677 words: Of those, 1,700 were first used by Shakespeare.

This list of words that we use in our daily speech were all brought into usage by Shakespeare:

Those Latin origin words came to the British Isles with the Normans, which means via their language, which was French. England was a dual language country for almost 500 years until the French and the Anglo Saxon languages merged to become what we know as English.
Believe King James's bible from 1611 pretty much set the standard here. Well, that was almost 600 years after 1066.
