"Any other examples of Hindi words in that area?"

Several years ago I was reading something about Guyana, and much to my
surprise I learned that they had a relatively large population (at least it
seemed large to me) of Hindus.  As I checked into it, I learned that much
like they did elsewhere the British brought in many Indians to their
far-flung colonies.  Perhaps, there was some mutual contact in the region.
Just a thought.
