"Gave us about a third of our language

Ultimately, but so much variation happened in the 600 or so years between the fall of the roman empire and Great Britain being conquered by the Normans that it makes no difference. (also greek only comes to us through Latin.)
We only have so many Greek and Latin derived words because poshos used it to name everything during the enlightenment.
Its a bit like you and your second cousin twice removed looking completely different despite having the same great great grandparents.
Did you ever wonder why we call a cow beef once we cook it but not before? That's the French's fault. (and about a million other things like that too!).

I got a rapid fire history lesson on this.
To be a true Briton you'd of had to come from the North West (Carlisle area), otherwise if you're more towards the south and midlands you were likely to be a Celt. If you're Scottish you were likely to be a Pict.
Then the Romans arrived, did their Romany things and inter-bred with the native population, fast forward when they left, the Saxons arrived, they settled, did Saxony things until the Vikings arrived and conquered vast areas of England & Ireland.
Saxon defeat Viking, Saxon defeated by Norman and here we are.
It's suffice to say we're, in his word, a "Mongrel Breed" Though saying that, in my area there's still a heavy Roman/Saxon/Viking presence. |

Depends what you mean by a 'true Briton'? Wouldn't the Celts have considered themselves as belonging here first? |

Yeah mostly Latin/Germanic/French with some viking.
Also spoken language had a different evolution than written language thanks to the upper classes only speaking French for a while (and the peasants ignoring them!)

Well they were more of a band than a means of communication. |

The French gave us beautiful baguettes that come in many shapes and sizes and let's not forget they also gave us the sexiest baguette salesman to ever bless us with his freshly baked goods |

"...Marcel marceau...
"
Technically, we gave the world Marcel, as he was a struggling artiste when he managed to engineer a meeting with Stan Laurel when L&H were touring Europe.
Stan became a big fan, friend and mentor, helping to propel Marcel to global fame...and as Stan was born in Ulverston in Cumbria, Britain can very tenuously claim to have given the world, and France their most famous mine |
