The words for water in various proto-languages are very similar
Considering that every language, including proto languages, has thousands of words, it doesn't seem too surprising to me that the less than 20 languages you noticed have this one similarity purely due to chance. You'd have to provide a lot more examples of a similar sound correspondence to establish that this isn't purely coincidence More on reddit.com

r/linguistics on Reddit: The words for water in various proto-languages are very similar
April 10, 2021 -

So something I've noticed is almost all the proto-languages I can think of have their word for water (and stream/river, in the case of Korean and Sino-Tibetan) that starts with labial /w/ or /m/, or in some the words have /w/ as the second phoneme in the word.

Proto-Indo-European: wódr̥ / wed

Proto-Uralic: wete / witi

Proto-Malayo-Polynesian: wahiʀ / wahir

Proto-Sino-Tibetan: lwi(j) / m-t(w)əj-n / m-ti-s

Proto-Japonic: mentu

Proto-Tungusic: mū

Goguryeo: me

Proto-Mongolic: mören

Middle Korean: múl

Proto-Bantu: màjíjɪ̀

Proto-Afroasiatic: maʔ-

Proto-Eskimo: əməʁ

Proto-Chukotko-Kamchatkan: iməl

It's a strange coincidence, although I'm someone who likes finding genetic relations between language families so I like to imagine it's proof towards them being related ;)

All the ones that don't follow this rule that I can find are American languages. Some examples

Proto-Athabaskan: tuˑ

Dena'ina: tʰaʔ=naːn

I do notice they start with /t/ thought, which /t/ and /d/ appear as the first consonant of the first or second syllables of a lot of these words, which could also mean something

If you ask me, the words in PIE and Proto-Uralic are related, and the words in Korean/Proto-Japonic/Proto-Tungusic/Goguryeo/Proto-Mongolic are related.
