NIT: English has 470k words in the OED, and estimates of 1M, if we account for synonyms and references rather than just spellings, with 1.2-1.5M if we account for what are two and three word terms in english but one word in a compound language like german, and then there is scientific terminology. English is a very low context high precision language especially suited for science and law. (Although german appears to be better for engineering because it evolved to be.)
