me to i love languages and wanna learn how to say peace this world need to now what peace is all about
I am working on a local peace project, thanks you made my day and put a huge smile on my face. Cheri
what about italian?
In June 2009 we placed four peace poles in front of the Joggins United Church, it total we have printed PEACE in 50 languages. The youth at the River Hebert High School made and designed the signs. They look great and many tourists stop to take pictures and admire the children's work. Pam
what about russian
there's this word that means peace but idk what language it is in but ti starts with E and has a i and r in it plz help to found out where it's from and how to say it
Peace be on Earth!
you wrote: Indonesian = Rerdamaian
the correct one is "Perdamaian"
i like your posting bout this peace languages :)
Miigwech! Geyaabi bezhig gdaa-zhibii'aan... 'Bekaadendmowin'. Mii e-zhi-kidyaang 'Peace' Nishnaabemyaang. :-)
- - - -
Thank you! You might write one more... 'Bekaadendmowin'. It's how we say 'Peace' in our Nishnaabe language. :-)
howbout the most famous Indian languages - Sanskrit, Hindi and Telugu. Adding them is no hurdle to the patient becoz in all those the word for peace is the same - "SHANTI"
also in the above list there is a small correction, for Gujarati = Shanti Bengali
Gujarati is an Indian language in which also Shanti means peace and Bengali is the name of another language spoken in West-Bengal(calcutta), its not equal to peace as mentioned, correct that.
amazing!
Great work I must say!! Better to make this a list and keep adding languages that you get as user comments :)
Very interesting. The Maltese: Pa?i should be written with a dot on the C and reads 'Pah-chee'. I have a video on Hubpages on how to pronounce the Maltese Alphabet http://hubpages.com/hub/Maltese-Learning-the-Langu
In Portuguese, the correct way is just: PAZ (:
what about Russia??!!
???!!!
in Russian it's Mir ;)
Klipeshnik, ? ????, ? ?? ??? ?? ???????? ???!)
And what about Ukrainian???? Not nice((((((((((((
In Croatian it's MIR
in albanian is just "paqe" without "La" :P
In Romanian is just "pace". There's no "la" or "italian".
WHAT??? U have few translation of "peace" in few Indian regional languages but not in the national language (Hindi)????
LMFAO on ramaraobobby's comment :
"howbout the most famous Indian languages - Sanskrit, Hindi and Telugu."
Since when did TELUGU become the most famous language in India???
U must be the guy who is fighting for Telengana....Learn to be Indian "not Telugu".
Vinod: this post helps folks translate the word "peace"...but you've chosen to be political and snarky here. Absurd.
Thank you for making this list. my take one P.E.A.C.E.=People Enlightened And Changing Evolution : )
What's up with the Portuguese one? It's just "PAZ". Makes me doubt the rest now =P
Fabulous post and great photo, love the composition!
Lana, I love that! I hope you don't mind if I share that around! ;-)
Well, as an albanian i have to "inform" you that it's PAQE and not "La Paqe".
Thanks!
In albanian the correct is just "PAQE" not "LA PAQE". There is no propisition of "LA" in albanian.
You left out the word in Assyrian (neo Aramaic) language: Shlama. I hope you add it.
...and in each of these listed/unlisted countries, what of the indigenous sign language of it's Deaf community, e.g. 'peace' in Russian Sign Language, Italian Sign Language, Indonesian & British Sign Language & so on? Kinda missed alot if folks out! :)
Hi In Mongolian language
peace = ??? ?????? (enkh taivan)
thanks
swedish = frid
Wolof - Jamm
the gujrati version is crap :)
The Turkish word is Bar??. The way you wrote is the English pronunciation. Great work and Peace...
More than a billion, or over sixth of the world’s population live in India; and it certainly deserves a mention in your commendable collection. The word for peace in Hindi is “Shanti”.
Croatian = Mir
Bosnian = Mir
Serbian = Mir
Russian = Mir
Good work. I guess that where the final word in the line is another language the implication is that the same word is used in that language?
For example:
Creole = Lapé Haitian
Dutch = Vrede Afrikaans
Gaelic = Fois Scots
Gujarati = Shanti Bengali
Norwegian = Fred Danish
Portuguese = A Paz Galician
Romanian = La Pace Italian
What about "Pace" in Italian? They are all beautiful way to say peace, anyway! *O*
-ladyhope
Kapayapaan in Filipino (Tagalog)
Selam lealem hisb(Ameharic)...peace to the world
In Indonesian and Malay: DAMAI
Papiamentu (Dutch Caribbean) = pas
Kazakh - Beibitshilik
Armenian = Khanhaghutyun is incorrect!
Armenian = Khaghaghutyun
Azerbaijani - Sulh
Turkish - Barish
May I use your pic of hand with peace written on it for Queen's Jubilee day
