1. Different languages.

Navaho

Navaho is a spoken language of North America that speaks between 120,000 and 140,000 people.
It’s still a threatened language, and in 1986 a language immersion program was created with the aim of promoting the language. Some movies have been translated into this language and there are currently mobiles and applications in Navaho

2. Borrowed words in English.

English originally developed from the Germanic languages.
But many english words come from about 120 other languages, for example: Cigar (from Spanish), trekking (from Afrikaans), robot (from Czech) and avatar (from Sanskrit).

Very interesting Rosa, I didn't know that they have dubbed films into Navaho!
See you soon,
