Origin of English?!   When I was going through an Oxford dictionary 10 years ago, I came to know that  the origin of  Man and Sandalwood are from Sanskrit (scanned parts of the same are copied here).  After that I started collecting the words originated from Sanskrit and to my surprise there were many and I am listing them here.        Manu Bhratr Swastr Pitr Man   Brother Sister                                                                                                           Father Matr Duhitr Mater, Mother Daughter Sunu                                                                                                                                 Jan    Son Gene, Genesis  Bandh                  Bond Aksha Axis Navagatha Naav Navigation Navy Sarpa Serpent Naas Nose
