Essentially the english were invaded by the normans and that changed the english language from a germanic one to the abomination we are familiar with today : a blend of german without the agglutination part, and norman french (which is descended from latin).

That's not a French dialect, it's a creol!

The problem is, there's a lot of french creoles

There's also a lot of French dialects, and English dialects, and English creoles.

Throw the odd Celtic and Dane in there and then boil it all inside a sheep's stomach and you've got English.
