That is a tough question to answer, and any answer would be incorrect as soon as it was given, because the English language is constantly growing and changing. Various sources and dictionaries give different estimates, but the truth is that probably no one knows for sure.

This link discusses the issue and will give you some possibilities.
Best of luck.
