- Afghanistan means “land of the Afghans”.
- Hindi is just one out of hundreds of languages spoken in India. The words have the same origin. I am not sure what prompted the loss or gain of an “h”, but English has nothing to do with it.
- The Philippines/Filipino thing clearly works the other way around. I cannot think of any language besides English in which an “f” can be written as “ph”.
I wasn’t referring to loanwords, so I’d say you could limit your list to just Greek.
