Among the languages that influence English is Arabic. This influence was either through direct borrowing or through indirect borrowing via other languages over which Arabic had considerable influence, particularly Latin and Spanish. A few contemporary studies show that today's English has thousands of words of Arabic origin in all fields of science agriculture, art, astronomy, geography, mathematics, medicine, music, etc..
It is indicated by study of Skeat's Etymological Dictionary of the English Language(1978) that Arabic is the seventh on the list of languages that have contributed to the enrichment of the English vocabulary.
Of course, Arabic contribution not only the English language and culture but also to the major Western languages and cultures.
But I will focus to English only.
