Yiddish comes from German, German comes from latin, so does English, Franch, Spanish and Italian.
Technically, German and English are Germanic languages, and are a separate branch from the Romance (meaning related to Rome) languages, which include Spanish, French, Portuguese, Latin, Italian and others.
Most English words with Latin roots are originally from French, and were borrowed therefrom during the Norman conquest of England.
