Some of those arnt 'derived' from Sanskrit - they share a common root. I.E. ancient Indo-European languages.
PIE (Proto-Indo-European) is a crock of nonsense, really. There was no 'aryan invasion' or 'aryan migration'- if anything, it was a migration OUT of India due to the collapse of the Saraswati river almost 4000 years ago.

What has that got to do with what I said CC? I afterall neglected to speculate on the origins of those Indo-European languages, unlike you.
The common root aspect is unsubstantiated and also not historically accurate.
