A comment left to a video about English and Arabic

"I googled this idea because I realized a lot of good words in arabic when they are said using english letters reveal an english word which is pretty insulting. Like right now I thought of insan which in arabic is human, but in english it is pretty close to insane, which among other words led me to research about this."

The comment above was left after someone watched this older video:

I was hoping back then this information would take off like wildfire so greater connections could be made, such as to other languages.

    German, Latin, and Greek

    Anything that's a k in Greek is a c in Latin and a ch in german, I've noticed.
