Not only English but many languages have emerged from Hindi and these languages originate from the main Indian Language that is Sanskrit. This is the language that is been used by many great peoples in the early stages in India.

"example, in Indian languages, If we hvae to write word BUZZ then its not possible because the zz will be pronounced as jj, so they write it as BAJJ. Now if you ask people to pronounce it as BUZZ you will find its impossible for them to pronounce it as BUZZ."

You can represent the /z/ sound in Hindi. it's "ja" with a dot underneath. So you could write buzz as बज़.

But many speakers will still pronounce it as "baj" because many Hindi speakers do not have the /z/ sound.
