Really interesting stuff! It just goes to show that even without 'authorities' such as the French Language Academy, loan words end up becoming modified and molded by their adoptive language. I'm learning Japanese and it has so many loan words going all the way back to the dutch. Some are barely recognisable for example computer is パソコン = pasokon = personal computer.
