Good evening,
Today I stumbled upon the word barat in Malay, which means "west", and immediately linked it with bharat, which means "India" in several Indian languages. Taking into account that Sanskrit has had a significant impact in Malay it seems likely that barat is one of those cases, but I haven't found any trustable site which states so. What do you know about it?
Thanks
