I wouldn't say some because there are over thousands, for example out of 500,000 english words, 5000 of words are derived from the root of Arabic, this was the case as Arabic was once the international language, and many from nothern Wurope came to Andulasia to study art, science, Maths etc and they had to learn arabic, so when they went back home they carried a lot of arabic vocubaularies with them which then went to English language dictionary.

Definitely. The same also happened with Germanic who gave English like Haus is House etc.... I think it happened with pretty much every language, onlt a few are really genuine as Chinese, Japanese, Greek, Indian.

Some Hindi words are derived from Arabic as well, as The Mugals ruled India for a thousand yearss.
