about that native tongue thing...while watching futurama, i picked up on a word, i think it was lugar, which is similar to a word in konkani (what my parents speak), an i guess it was used in the context of place, when we use it for space. thought that was an interesting commonality.
Did Konkani take any of the Portuguese language along (Goa)? If so, there's your relationship maybe? You'd know better than I of course.
