cognates? exact cognates, close cognates. depending on how similar they are in spelling. although the word actually refers to words having the same roots -coming from the same word in latin, greek, etc.-, not necessarily being spelt the same way, and not necessarily with the same meaning either.

THERE IS A WORD THAT I HOPE IT WON'T BOTHER YOU GUYS IT'S ACTUALLY THE "N" WORD
YOU SEE THE WORD "*****" IN SPANISH MEANS BLACK AND IN ENGLISH IT'S ALSO THE SAME WORD USED TO DESCRIBE DARK SKINNED HUMANS "******"
