Eskrima Escrima

What is the difference between Kali, Arnis and Escrima/Eskrima?
Not to be rude, but I don't want the opinion of someone who just 'thinks' they know the answer. If anyone has actual experience in either of these or just has acquired knowledge then please explain the answer to me.
Thanks
They are three generic terms for FMA.
Just like kung fu, wushu, and chuan fa are different names for chinese boxing.
Escrima is Spanish, kali is Sanskrit, and Arnis is tagalog.
(Kali is actually the Indic goddess of death and consort of the god Shiva the Destroyer.)
Individual masters create their own styles. For example Tuhon Guro Edgar Silute created lameco escrima and Grandmaster Remy Presas created modern arnis.
It would not matter if Silute called his art arnis and Presas escrima.
The terms also have regional connotations.
