Just found out that “kitabu“, a swahili word for book,
Was coined from Arabic word, “kitab” which still means book.

A while back I tried to learn ancient Celtic. This lead me to look into ancient Anglo-saxon. While studying Anglo-saxon I learned that the ancient languages of Europe are derived from ancient Proto-Indo-European. Proto-Indo-European also gave words to Arabic, Hebrew, Russian, Egyptian and many more. I would not be surprised to find out that this was the language of Noah.

Certainly. Linguistics! Languages is somehow interesting, and I have a feeling it’s all connected.

Have you ever checked out Omniglot? It’s been a while since was on their website but they used to have a bunch of stuff to help learn other languages.
