Language is beautiful and so many hidden truths reside in it! A local language here, isiXhosa and isiZulu both, if I remember correctly, in their way of greeting, which translates to "hallo", but directly translates to "where are you standing", implying that to greet someone is to ask them where their family is, how they are related, and so on. It is very interesting stuff really!
