[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ramses nemesis: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lady Ferret: [qb] Shufty and hasheesh are the first two that come to mind.. oh and nik off, the Australian term ;) I also love derivatives. Did you know BSL is the 4th most used language in the UK... [/qb][/QUOTE]Shufty, interesting, I didn't know this word, thank you. I meant things like Assassin - from Hashashin, a group that used to get doped and then go kill people. Logarithm and Algorithm - from the name of the Arab/Muslim mathematician "Al-khawarizmy" Admiral - from Amir al-bahr (prince of the sea) who's sort of head of the navy or fleet in Arab/Muslim times. I'm sure there are other examples, but those are the ones that come to mind at the moment. No, I didn't know about BSL being fourth, so what are the second and third? probably Welsh is one of them, or maybe Urdu, or Polish. (I'm not being funny btw, those are large communities in the UK as you probably know). [/QB][/QUOTE]
