Has German been influenced by some distinct languages such as Hunnic, Hungarian, Turkish or any other Ural-Altaic language?
No / Nein. And for grammatical idiomatic English, you want different from, here, not *than.
Old English ( also called Anglo-Saxon) was a lot more like German is, and still more like Old High German was. But OE was so much like Old Saxon that in mid to mid-later 1st Millenium, they were probably to some extent mutually intelligible. Even today Low German and ordinary common English are surprisingly rather alike.
But English changed more from OE to New English than German did. The final vowels that carried case suffixes were lost (also in German) but English also collapsed the indefinite and definite articles and lost adjectival final syllables. So the English noun has lost the case and gender marking systems. English’s common everyday vocabulary is heavily Germanic but it has also borrowed heavily from Norman French, later French and also Latin.
