I'm a researcher in neurosciences, my native language is Italian, English is my second language and I am bold enough to say I speak it decently. I can also speak French. And people somehow understand me when I do!

British usage of “cha”, “char” or “chai” to mean “tea” @ZafarS: that is why I put an Hindi, Persian, Urdu, Marathi, Gujarati and Bengali version of the word. Do you have any reference for the Persian being the original one? |
