I found a rather more curious connection in ethiopia. I met an ethiopian guy
in the town of
Gondar (note the name) in northern ethiopia who was doing some
anthropological research on some of the older tribes in
the region... he had studied in India, and found a lot of similarity between
the Gonds of india, and certain
tribes in the area around Gondar who also believed they were from a land
called Gondwana land...and the languages
and tribal dieties had many striking similarities.....

Long ago - on this list, and perhaps more than once I put up my now "ho

well known observations about similarities in Indo-European languages.

For example:

"danta"- dental
"sarpa"-serpent
"kamra"-camera-chambre-chamber-room

But all these are well known.
