Language is fascinating. I was chatting with a friend from India and used the phrase "time is money." She looked at me with a funny expression and asked how I knew that. I explained the origins and meaning of the phrase and she laughed. She said that in her mother tongue the word for money sounds just like the English word "time."
I wonder how many of these localized, regional dialects will be lost over the coming decades.
