The Japanese word for bread γγ³ is the same as the Spanish word: "pan" π₯π
Discussion
The Dutch word for squirrel (eekhoorn) is pronounced the same as the English word for the nut (acorn).
I wonder wether the Japanese new what a Spaniard was before they knew what bread was.
Interesting
Yes. Medieval Japan traded with only a few countries, such as the Netherlands and Portugal, and the words that came into the country at that time still remain today
Is fascinating how a country's history is recorded in the language. In Spanish there are hundreds of examples of words derived from Arabic from the pre Medieval age.
And French and Italian
