Also isn't English the only European language not to call Pineapples some variation of "ananas"?

European Spanish calls it Piña, and Brazilian Portuguese calls it Abacaxi.

Ananás & Abacaxi refer to different types of pineapple. In Portugal we use both. In Brasil, Abacaxi is used because it's the type they have and with time it came to mean all kinds of Ananás.
