the english language is largely made up from variations of other european language with some original english remaining, but the languages that have come over here all derive from latin. its why some of the european languages are quite similar in some respects. theres no arabic about it, we don't even have the same letter formations.

your whole argument is contradictory. one minute most of the lanuage is made up of arabic, the next its less than 1%. less than 1% is very insignificant and the fact you've listed many languages above arabic speaks for itself.

"It will surprise many to know that in a study made of Skeats Etymological Dictionary, it was found that Arabic is ranked seventh of the languages that have contributed to the enrichment of English"
