Did you know?
- While ज़ॉम्बी is the modern term, traditional Indian folklore describes the vetala, a spirit that inhabits dead bodies to move them, similar to a zombie.
- The word ज़ॉम्बी uses the letter ज़ (za), which is a Persian-influenced character used in Hindi to represent the 'z' sound, as the native Sanskrit-based alphabet lacks this sound.
- If you were watching a classic Indian horror film, the creature would more likely be called a प्रेत (preta) rather than using the English loanword ज़ॉम्बी.
