What language does bamboo came from?

Bamboo doesn't come from a specific language. It's a plant, not a word!

However, the word "bamboo" itself has a fascinating history:

* Origin: The word "bamboo" likely comes from Dutch or Portuguese, which themselves borrowed it from Malayalam, a language spoken in Kerala, India. In Malayalam, the word is "バンブー" (pronounced "bambu").

* Global spread: From there, the word spread to other European languages, and eventually to English.

So while bamboo itself is a plant found in various regions, the word we use to describe it has roots in the Malay language family!
