Interesting fact I discovered recently is the Portuguese word for eggplant/brinjal is beringela. My guess is the word comes from the Portuguese Colonies in India

But eggplants didnt come to India with the Europeans. Eggplans existed in india for atleast 1500 years, so the native words for eggplant wld be as old as the Portuguese one.

That's interesting. We use the word 'Brinjal', along with 'Ladies Fingers' in Sri Lanka too. I am not sure how it crossed the Palk Strait. It should be remembered that we too were ruled by the Portuese. Thanks for posting.
Iam Indian in New Zealand. Yesterday I emailed my kiwi colleague shipment is preponed to this week. She came and asked me what's that word preponed 🙄 I remembered this video👍
In Malaysian schools we used the word Brinjal from my primary school days in the 60's. I only came to know eggplant as another name in Canada while I was there in the 80's.
The brinjal comes from Portuguese (Borrowed from Portuguese beringela)
Dr Shashi Tharoor is very popular among women's as well 😊😊. I think its easy to make out difference between Australian and New Zealander
This is so true 😂😂 I often ask my US clients to preponed the meet😅
Some english words originated from Malayalam are : Coir- കയറ് (kayaṟŭ), jackfruit- ചക്ക (cakka), betel, mahogany, Copra, Areca, Catechu, Calico, Jaggery, Mango, Teak, Curry.
We need more of your reactions! 😊😊
He is Lord Tharoor of English.
What's Shashi mentioned are just tip of the iceberg. There are several words that orignate from ancient Indian subcontinent languages (e.g.: Sanskrit and Tamil) used globally by many current languages. My favourite one is Ma (mother) which originates from Sanskrit.

@@spilltea4241 on what basis do you assume that Sanskrit is a Proto-Indo-European language? Did you know that Indian scientists have already disproven the age old theory of Aryan Invasion via DNA/ genetics research. The centuries old theory that was imposed by the Western colonial historians without an iota of evidence is now finally been scientifically refuted. And the correct version is that people from the old (Indian subcontinent) civilizations migrated towards Persia and other places in Europe. And further research is ongoing in the field of linguistic origins... More evidence will show that majority of European culture/ linguistic roots came from the Indian subcontinent and not vice versa.

Defenestration was a common way of disposing of unsuspecting rivals in Europe in the middle ages. You would call them in for a conference and then let gravity do the rest. In the movie Braveheart, Edward Longshanks chucks his homosexual son's lover out of the window. Look up the defenestration of Prague, circa 1500.
Another indian English word : 'Updation'

Yep, and 'Idiation'.
In Norwegian Shampoo is pronouced the correct Indian way because that's how a Norwegian would pronounce it when translating the english version of the word into Norwegian.
when u don't have any point or arguments then you people say "love it"!!!
If you want to be like him, read one book every day.
What I have noticed is that... this video you are reacting to is very old... because in the video it was mentioned that India is still behind US in English speakers, but India has long surpassed US in that linguistic category, with over 400mil+ speakers.
Look up the word "barnshoot" which is a mispronunciation of the most common and vulgar insult in north India launched against a man. It was adopted by the British army in India, traveled to Britain, and has disappeared from English since the British left India. Nobody knows or uses it now, and I would be curious to know if Dr. Tharoor knows of it.
Please do the needful!
And I hope you learnt from it.
,side please,....anyone heard this....meaning give way....or coming through
Dekko and Chokey are two other words borrowed from India. Former means have a look and the latter, gaol.
Sanskrit is mother of all language.. And India is mother of all skill..

🤦Sanskrit belongs to the Indo-European language branch. On the other hand, south India languages belong to Dravidian group that is not connected to any Indo-European languages. While south Indian languages like Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada later had heavy Sanskrit influence, Tamil still remains an original one that's not connected to the Indo-European branch. This is basic knowledge when it comes to world languages. There is no dispute over this. Only a brahmin supremacist would contradict this and make nonsensical claims.

(Mango word was created from an illiterate man) A British officer during the British Raj in India. One day a mango seller was walking by the road beside British officer's hose, shouting Aam le lo.......(it means "buy" the (Aam) mango). Officer told his servant in english, call the man who is selling the fruits. Servant did not understood what man go means, because he didn't know english. so officer repeated. man go bring here with hand gestures. So man went and bring the fruit seller in house. Since then, when ever any mango sellers will go by that road, the servant will call laud to officer man go .. man go.. man go. He understood that "man go" means Aam fruit. So that officer added a new vocabulary man-go as mango in dictionary . That man-go word means Aam in Indian languages. Isn't a nice story.

That's a good back story to tell, but unfortunately not true. Mango comes from "mankkai", the word for mango in Tamil.
