Say Hello In different Languages

Today February 21st (Saturday) is the International Mother Language Day proclaimed by UNESCO’s General Conference in November 1999 to promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.

I have to admit that I’ve not been aware of this observation day until recently that I was having a look at my calendar, but this sounds like fun to me since I love all things related to languages, countries and cultures.

Since I have a passion for languages this blog is for families around the world, I plan to have some language chit chat in the future, but meanwhile, why don’t we try saying hello in different languages? Feel free to add other languages you’ve learnt and typing in the original characters. Would appreciate any explanation on the real meaning or usage.

I’ll start:

Spanish: (mother language): Hola

Also:

Quichua (We call Quichua in Ecuador and Quechua in Peru and Bolivia): “Allillachu cangui”

I want to learn more! Would you please…? My son inherited my passion for languages and he’s always asking me how to say “that” in “this language”, so you’ll also help this homeschooling mama to fulfill the curricula
