I found the line, "And much like linguistic false friends...such as... jungli, which means wild in Gujarati, not jungle" amusing because it's right for the wrong reason. "Jungli" means "person from the jungle" in many Indian languages, but the word "jungle," which in English connotes a dense forest, comes from a Sanskrit root that actually refers to an arid, undeveloped, semi-desert environment. So, the word means exactly what the author thinks -- a wild person from the jungle -- but because it was borrowed incorrectly, it's a completely different "jungle". So it remains a "linguistic false friend"!
