[edit] Please add vegetables

This list needs a lot of work.

I have found the multilingual Plant Names database at the University of Melbourne to be a great resource. However, its coverage of Indian languages is spotty, and not all edible plant genuses (or species) are included.

The table turned out rather wide, and doesn't yet include languages such as Oriya, or Portuguese (spoken in Goa). I didn't list Urdu as a separate column, thinking that it can share the Hindi vocabulary, but someone else may think this is a mistake. Krnntp 19:21, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Portuguese is not spoken in Goa. It just has a lot of influence on the local language as per my experience. --Kaveri 19:55, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Sanjeev Kapoor's glossary [1] is also helpful. Krnntp 19:47, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mooli

I had this amazing discovery about Mooli (hindi) - white radish. In BBC food they list Mooli as 'A long white Japanese vegetable of the radish family, also known as daikon.' http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/glossary/m.shtml?mooli no mention of Indian Mooli/Muli. So I checked wikipedia and it says under Daikon - ".... known under other names, including daikon radish, Japanese or Chinese radish, winter radish, mooli or moo (Korean) ..." The pictures look like Muli in India. Can somebody more knowledgeable tell me if the Muli in India and in korean is the same vegetable? --Kaveri 19:52, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
