Japanese, Egyptian, Aztec Connections...?

I could easily say that the Japanese word kasa (umbrella) comes from Spanish casa (House). The umbrella resembles a small house in which one take refuge from the rain, just as one would go inside the house, under the roof to take refuge from the rain as well.

The Japanese word for cat, "neko" sounds almost exactly like the english word for "nickle", the five cent coin put out by the U.S. treasury. This is because both cats and nickles are small. This means the american language is similar to the Japanese, so there must be some common origin behind the words! Ha ha, take that, linguistics!

I'm sorry, but I put my opinion into humor and do not mean to offend anyone, I was just providing a funny example of how I was thinking.

I'm not trolling, I swear. :[

Speaking of Neko, you know the Maneki-neko that is supposed to attract customers and wealth? Yeah, well a nickle is money so thus having lots of nickles over time, one can become wealthy so thus nickle = neko

Also, Kasa means something like "to slip" In Swedish. So raindrops slip off of a kasa (umbrella) so the Swedish must have taken the word umbrella from the Japanese because they saw that raindrops slipped off of the umbrella. OOP! What do you know, Swedish is somehow a lost branch of the Japanese language.

OH...I have a good one. The Japanese language, is pronounced similarly to the Romance languages (especially Spanish and Italian). Does this mean that Japanese is somehow a lost relative of the Romance languages? No.

Seriously, just because a few things may sound the same and even mean the same, does not mean it is.

We also have to take a look at how the cultures are different from each other (religion, language, customs, geographically, etc)
