I mean:
English
Russian
French? (how did this happen? France --> French?!?)
Chinese
And someone from Afghanistan is an Afghan? How did the word get shorter not longer? 🤔
Also, why is a person from India called an Indian, but the language is called Hindi? This breaks my brain…
Philippines --> Filipino? They just saw the “Ph” and decided to use an “F”? 🤔
Okay idk how language even works anymore…
[This is an open discusssion thread on languages and their quirks…]
Sanskrit is more like English’s uncle than granddaddy: English is from Proto-Germanic, and both Proto-Germanic and Sanskrit are from Proto-Indo-European.
