To be fair: English is a polygot of tongues, which makes it somewhat mongrel and acceptable for wide usage, if you ask me. Also, the wide use of English is more due to America than England, I think, and England didn't hold on to us for very long.
And Latin and Greek are still the accepted languages of science descriptors and naming. It was only just recently that Botanics decided to NOT make lengthy Latin-based descriptions of plants.
I don't think language is a good indicator.
