English due to our extensive vocabulary available to us

>English is certainly rich in vocabulary, but this claim is nearly always made by enthusiastic lovers of English who don't really know how the many varieties of language beyond English work. It's not that another language has more words. The comparison simply can't be made in any agreed apples-to-apples way.
>Moreover, many languages habitually build long words from short ones. German is obvious; it is a trifle to coin a new compound word for a new situation, as mentioned here. Are compounds new words? Is the German Unabhängigkeitserklärung, "declaration of independence", one word? It's certainly written that way in German. Given the possibilities for compounds, German would quickly outstrip English, with new legitimate German "words", which Germans would accept without blinking, coined every day.

But it really does have the largest effective vocabulary because of how much it has picked up from foreign ones, being a germano-romance mutt language with celtic influence that became the premier language of the world, picking up even more words as is spread across the globe.

You can think of words like
Sehnsucht
>From sehnen (“to long”) + Sucht (“anxiety; sickness; addiction”).
that means
>Sehnsucht (German pronunciation: [ˈzeːnˌzʊxt]) is a German noun translated as "longing", "pining", "yearning", or "craving",[1]. Some psychologists use the word Sehnsucht to represent thoughts and feelings about all facets of life that are unfinished or imperfect, paired with a yearning for ideal alternative experiences.[2]
or that one "dasein"
>From German Dasein (“there-to be”), from da (“there”) + sein (“to be”).
>Dasein (German pronunciation: [ˈdaːzaJn]) is a German word that means "being there" or "presence" (German: da "there"; sein "being"), and is often translated into English with the word "existence". It is a fundamental concept in the existential philosophy of Martin Heidegger, particularly in his magnum opus Being and Time. Heidegger uses the expression Dasein to refer to the experience of being that is peculiar to human beings.
