For example, I noticed that "library" in Russian is "библиотека" (biblioteka), which is very similar to the Spanish and French word for library, which is "biblioteca" (Spanish) and "bibliothèque" (French.) What caused this influence? Which language influenced which? Are they completely unrelated and is this just a coincidence? I'm very curious about this.
