Different

Different , adjective

[Latin differens, -entis, present participle of differre: compare French différent.]

1.
Distinct; separate; not the same; other.
Five different churches. — Addison
2.
Of various or contrary nature, form, or quality; partially or totally unlike; dissimilar; as, different kinds of food or drink; different states of health; different shapes; different degrees of excellence.
Men are as different from each other, as the regions in which they are born are different. — Dryden

Different is properly followed by from. Different to, for different from, is a common English colloquialism. Different than is quite inadmissible.
