English is unique in that it is a hybrid of both Germanic (Anglo-Saxon) and Romanace (Anglo-Norman) languages, dispite the fact that Britian it is far from the only place where Germanic Speakers and Romance speakers coexisted. There are a number of other places where this COULD have happened:

Iberia: Spainish/Portugesse/Gothic?
Gaul: French/German?
Italia: Italian/Ostrogothic/Lombardic?
Low Countries: Dutch/Waloon?
North Africa: Afro-romance/Vadalic (I know, a long shot)
