For "mother", is it possible that it starts with "umm أم אם". & then it varies into "umma, amma, mama, mummy". Then the "ma" adds with the "ta" & varies into another set "mutter, mother, madre, mère".

We could do that with father as well. Does it starts with "ab أب אב". & then it varies into "abah, abu, abeoji, baba, papa". Then the "pa" adds with the "ta" & varies into another set "pater, pedar, padre, father"... Hmmm... ماشاء الله و الله أعلم

The universe is cakerawala in Malay. It roots from the word cakera (disc), similar to the Persian چرخ and Sanskrit चक्र (wheel), which can describe circular motions the universe | body chakra

Isn't it amazing - it has words from the East to the West.

Still, I do feel the Malay language is under appreciated, as if the Malay language is less civilized? But please do not be SO ASHAMED of it.

Bahasa Melayu is a marriage of the languages of the Holy Scriptures (Arabic, Hebrew, Sanskrit). It's rich vocabulary may even explain human migration by the language transfer ☆ ماشاء الله
