In response to "I feel like they can still be classified in two different groups." by Max

I look at it differently. French is prescriptive and English is descriptive.

French is a language that guards against including words from other languages as "officially French".

English is all "welcome to the par-tay! All y'alls is perfectly cromulent with us!" and if a word is used in English it gets to be an English word.
