You are wasting time preening about features that are common to growth of many languages. Hindi or Urdu (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindi-Urdu) has words from all over. And today Hinglish uses English words in Hindi sentence structure and vice versa.

en.wikipedia.org

David Crystal, a British linguist at the University of Wales, projected in 2004 that at about 350 million, the world's Hinglish speakers may soon outnumber native English speakers. [2]

>As you can see, we "English" are not shy about adopting people, places and language from everywhere. Good English words like restaurant, cafe, sushi, karma and kiwi have origins outside London though they are intelligible inside London too.>
