Given the vast number of words in each language and the limited range of sounds humans can make to signify them, it is simply a matter of mathematical probability that some words with the same sounds and meanings would occur in different languages. This is true in the case of the Persian word "bad" and the English word "bad" which have both identical sounds and meanings, but completely different origins. Among other coincidental matches with English are Korean "mani" (many), Chinese "pei" (pay), Nahuatl (Aztecan) "huel" (well) and Maya "hol" (hole).</li></ol>
