  It's your mistake -- russian  language  has  an "unbelievable  number"
of "latin" words. English language too. "Latin" words: 
words  not only
in latin language, but also in latin transcription. That  is the reason,
why "latin" languages take a little number of  words from the
"cyrillic"
languages, so on. The latin transcription  is  similar for us, cyrillic
transcription is difficult for "latin".  And the arabic or
?"ieroglif"?
(China,  Japan) transcriptions  with  their "right-to-left"  rules  are
dificult for both "latin" and "cyrillic" groups.

  But i can say, that this "language"  question  is  not so simple.

                                                                   Ilya
