While writing some of the articles published in Scribd, I started realizing that
many Sanskrit and English words are connected. In India, it is easy to observehow the words gradually change as one moves from one place to another.
There is a strange regular pattern in the change and variation of
pronunciation.
I am not a linguistic. There are good references and scholarly work on the
subject like the one in this web site
I have written below some of my ideas of the similar words in both the
languages.
There are many more. Which I will add later and re-publish the table below.The Sanskrit words are written as per ITRANS

2 Algebra alijihvaa The uvula or soft
palate. Inner
tongue, the seat
of roots or rootwords.In Sanskrit,
Algebra is called
'bIja gaNit'. 'bIja'
means root or
seed, 'gaNita'
means the art of
calculation.
A speech sound made with the
middle part of the tongue (dorsum)
touching the soft palate is known as
a velar consonant.It is possible for the soft palate to
retract and elevate during speech
to separate the oral cavity (mouth)
from the nasal cavity in order to
produce the oral speech sounds. If
this separation is incomplete, air
escapes through the nose, causing
speech to be perceived asnasal.(Quoted from Wkipedia)
