What are some programming languages that reuse most of the syntax of another (rather than just a few elements of it?)

I just wanted to mention the esoteric programming language INTERCAL, which was created with the idea to be unlike every other programming language as much as possible.

For example: The creators wanted to include GOTO because of how maligned it is with programmers, but since GOTO exists in many languages already they instead created the COME FROM statement which also makes the arbitrary jumps in execution even more confounding when trying to read the code.
