This reminds me of a story about a French ship that landed someplace, and a native of the area walked down the beach and greeted them, saying "Bonjour." Shocked that the locals spoke perfect French, the sailors asked "Parlez-vous francais??" and the local, confusedly asked "what did you say?" in the local language.
As it turns out, both the local language and French had apparently arrived at more or less the exact same word for a greeting by pure coincidence.
