SUR why in french does it mean on, and in spanish means south?
if they are both romance languages, does anyone know where they originate from please?

the french changed the latin "super" into sur, while the spanish changed it to "sobre"
For south, some vernacular latin word was adopted, because Latin uses "australius" for south. This word was changed by the two into different words, probably gradually

things like that happen all the time, you know. i think it's just a coincidence, a result of some different phonetic processes. anyway, 'south' is SUD in french.
