Church

 Igreja is the Portuguese word for a church.


In Malay and Indonesian, it is Gereja.  The Galician word is Igrexa.  The Sundanese islanders in Indonesia term it "kareja".

The Spanish call it an Iglesia. In Catalan, it is Esglesia.  Scots Gaelic term is Eaglais.

The French word is Eglise.  In Irish, it is "Eaglais".

Italians call a church a Chiesa.

Notice the almost similarities.  Latin has a different twist - Ecclesia.

The Samoans refer to "Ekalesia".

The English of course refer to a church, and the Telugus in India call it "charchi".
