Broer means brother in Dutch. What makes it interesting is the similarity it has with the Northern accent* in Iran which is the part I come from as they say "Bror" to brother.
And another word Dochter ("ch" should be pronounced like "kh") is very similar to the word "Dokhtar" in Farsi with the meaning of daughter in both languages.

There is an interesting Wikipedia page on "Indo-Europen Languages".
We are all cousins.
The same for "PÈRE" in France and 'pier' in North of Iran..
