Sister Sledge - We Are Family (Official Music Video)





In Sanskrit there are many words to denote Family.
The most commonly used are परिवार(parivAr) and कुतुम्बक(kutumbaka).

Now let's get closer to home fellow Malaysians!
Let's take the Malay word Keluarga.
Keluarga as we know means Family.

Is Keluarga a Sanskrit word?
Well, its not a word used in Sanskrit for Family BUT its made up of two Sanskrit words that give the meaning of Family.

Let's dissect the word.
Keluarga is made up of कुल(kula) and वर्ग(varga)
कुल(kula) means clan
वर्ग(varga) means group

So कुलवर्ग(kulavarga) means a group of clansmen.

Betul tak? Betul kan...maksud keluarga dalam Bahasa Melayu pun sama juga!
