Why English copy German language so much?

German is mostly from Sanskrit language...
i guess it goes this way, the newer languages are inspired by older language

Why all the words in BM words is copied from english 1? BM run out of idea to make their language unique ?

almost all the words are like direct translation, just change the C in front to K =_=

I do speak Germany (Deutschland).. Actually the pronouncement and spelling for Deutschland and BM quite similar...
For instances :

Michael : in germany they pronounce same as Mikail in BM
Kite : Pronounce same as "Kite" in BM...
so if you want to learn Germany not that hard, within a year u can speak and pronounce very well...

well, in chinese usually (even brand name) they will maximized the used of the meaning of the word instead of direct translate it's pronounciations

in chinese, Microsoft is 微软 (wei ruan), 微= Micro 软=Soft

Television =电视机; 电=electric 视=vision 机=machine
Telephone = 电话; 电=electric 话= conversation
Computer = 电脑; 电=electric 脑=brain

etc etc....
