I don't speak or understand Bengali and can't read the written form either, but when looking it up on Google translate, I got the following result: আম or Āma

I don't speak or understand Bengali and can't read the written form either, but when looking it up on Google translate, I got the following result:
আম or Āma
which is similar to the Hindi/Urdu word Aam (आम in Devanagari script) (آم in Urdu script).

- u801e 3y agoIn my first comment, I wrote: >> Like chai vs tea, the two words (that I know of) are aam and mango. I was referring to either aam or mango being a word that's common in many languages throughout the world, like chai and tea. So, আম or Āma is similar enough to Aam (आम or آم).
- umeshunni 3y agoI think OP was saying that similar to the words Tea/Chai that originated from different parts of China and spread to the rest of the world, the words Aam (from Indo-Aryan) and Mango (from Dravidian) originated in different parts of India and spread to rest of the world.
