The anglicized suffixes “town” and “ton” (Georgetown, Boston, etc) share the same linguistic root as the Middle Eastern suffix “stan” (Kazakhstan, Pakistan, etc) and the sound “tahn” in a wide range of languages almost always means “place”.

The interconnectedness of humanity never fails to blow my mind.

Fun fact of the day 🤙🤙
