I'm not that certain. You see the same with Old Norse as compared with modern Scandinavian languages. As you can see most of the words still exist in some way in modern English so it isn't just a shift of vocabulary and nor is modern English more Latin in its grammar.
I am so sorry but I have to go to sleep now (it's 2.16 in the morning here). I'd love to continue this discussion in the morning however.
