@thor @Hyolobrika @mur2501 and persian (iranian) too. Like dar for door (pronounciation really close to english version) ^^ hindi dvā, porte in french)… porta, english portal (french portail),etc

But those similarities are only in North india, South india use Dravidian languages that is not from the same language family, but has probably lot of common vocabulary, and at least (if not the same writing) the same writing system (brahmic scripts).

@popolon @Hyolobrika @thor
It's not same writing system, while both do evolved from the Brahmi script (Influence of the Brahmi script goes till the Japanese Kana writing system) but in the time they have diverged alot.
North India uses the Devnagari script and it's variant while the South uses Tamil-Brahmi and it's variants.
By the way, many linguists speculate that the Dravidian language family are related to the Uralic family (Hungarian, Finnish, etc)
