English words of unusual origin
The majority of English words come from Germanic, Romance or Greek roots. These words do not. Guess which language each comes from.
Some of these origins are disputed. If a word has more than one arguable origin, guess the most prominent one.
I have just realised that in fact one of these languages is Germanic, but it is one that very few English words come from.

Ketchup actually comes from the Minnan language (Hokkien dialect), not Cantonese.
