American English has been greatly influenced by the following languages:
1. **French** - French has contributed a significant number of words to American English, especially in areas such as cuisine, fashion, and government.
2. **Latin** - Latin influences American English primarily through scientific, legal, and academic terminology.
3. **Greek** - Greek has also contributed vocabulary to fields like science, medicine, and philosophy.
Navajo has had a limited influence on American English, primarily in specific terms and names rather than as a significant source of vocabulary. "Pakistani" is not a language; the primary language spoken in Pakistan is Urdu, which does not have a significant impact on American English.
So, the correct selections are **French, Latin, and Greek**.
