Also include Gaelic languages like Irish and Scottish influencing English. I remember making a Portuguese colleague pronounce the words "bough", "lough" and "tough". It was funny and a realisation that the English language is just as non-sensical as any languages. Millennia of language mixing made any attempts to make sense of any language rules farcical but in amusing way.
