Linguists think the original word that became ginger in English was a Sanskrit term.

Ginger in modern Chinese is jiang (tone one). In Hokkien its kiun and in Japanese its Kyoo or Koo or hajikami whereas the Koreans call it Kang and the Vietnamese gung.

Here's the modern "traditional" form . There's also a simplifed form.
