This list contains Germanic elements of the English language which have a close corresponding Latinate form.

Where no Germanic source is available, a corresponding Old High German word from the same root has been included. These are in parentheses.

It is worth noting that usually the Germanic-based words sound more common, and the Latinate-based ones more lofty.
