All the words listed by the others, and probably more. May I however make one comment on several of the answers.
All languages borrow words from other languages, even those, like French, which have an academy devoted to protecting the "purity of the language". English is particularly welcoming to loan words because of its history, conquered by various nations and tribes in the first millenium after Christ (Romans, Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Christians, Vikings and Normans) , then taking their turn as conquerors and colonisers (USA, Canada, Australia, India, South Africa etc etc) since the Elizabethan era. This gives English one of the richest vocabularies of all languages. (The very word 'England' is from 'Land of the Angles', a Germanic people.) While a study of the etymology of words is interesting, there is no point in saying a word is 'not English' because it was originally German, or French, or Greek or whatever. If a word is used by English speakers/readers and understood by other English native speakers it has de facto become an English word (there is a transition stage when the "foreignness" of the word is indicated by writing it in italics, once these are gone the word has been fully assimilated into the language). If we insisted on expunging all loan words from the English language we should all be speaking Celtic.

From what I understand modern english is made up and a mutilation of many different languanges.
Blitz is actually short for a German word Blitzkreig.
Klutz is US slang and also from German klotz.
Slivovitz which is serb-croat in origin.
The language with tz used together is German and other closely related languages not english strictly speaking.

Cannot think of any! Someone suggested BLITZ, which is used in English but is in fact German. The guy who suggested KLUTZ was of course only describing himself. Waltz is good!
