| Amharic | የግል is an Amharic word with cognates in Tigrinya, Tigré, and Ge'ez that can be translated as "secret". |

| Basque | "Pribatua" also means "single" in Basque |
| Belarusian | The word "прыватны" in Belarusian is derived from the Latin word "privatus", meaning "separate" or "belonging to an individual or to a select group". |
| Bengali | In Sanskrit, the word 'ব্যক্তিগত' (byaktigat) means 'personal, individual', but in Bengali, it has acquired the additional meaning of 'private' or 'confidential'. |
