• To start with - there are many French words related to military that are
common in modern Indian languages such as Hindi and Panjabi. For
example, the words related to modern military ranks such as Kaptaan,
Jarnail and Karnail are Indian versions of the French words Capitaine,
Generalle and Coronell respectively. Some people have a misconception
that these words are borrowed through English, but in reality they are
borrowed directly from French as French military officers were employed in
the armies of most Indian kingdoms of the 18th century. Apart from this,
the word Paltan is derived from Peloton, and not English Platoon. English
has similar words and this is because the military vocabulary of English
itself is derived from Old French.
