The Greek for tea is pronounced similarly to chai, too; and also apparently it's similar in Arabic, too. And in English it sometimes gets referred to as cha (as in "I'd love a cup of cha").
If I'm having a really bad day (and also want to upset my tastebuds, because the stuff always tastes worse than I remember) I have been known to ask Starbucks employees if I can have a masala chai latte...
And it would appear that it's time for a cuppa! (Well, it has been about an hour since I last had one...)
