Languages - Similarities

[Andrez]

I'm amazed by the fact that my local dialect is closer to French, Spanish, English and Arabic than Italian could be.....

Some words for example:
Umbrella (ombrello).....Paràcco (Sicilian) = paraguas (Spanish)
Grapes (uva)....Racìna (Sicilian) = raisin (French)
Ferry boat (traghetto)...... Ferro a botto (Sicilian) = ferry boat (English)

I'm sure there are many others, but I can't remember atm..... Languages are truly amazing!
