This morning, I wanted to find out how to say “thank you” in Hungarian (in answer to a comment on this post), and Googled my way to a site that lists “thank you” in 465 languages. It was so interesting, I thought I’d share it. Honestly, I didn’t know there even were 465 languages!

There are some other phrases on the site as well if you want to look around.

Here’s a link to the page with the full list: Thank You in Many Languages

A few samples:

• Arabic: Shukran
• Bengali: Dhanyabad
• Cantonese: Doh je or M goi
  
• Danish: Tak
• Mandarin: Toa chie or Xie xie
• New Zealand English: Cheers
• French: Merci
• German: Danke Schoen
• Hebrew: Toda
• Indonesian: Makasih or Terima kasih (formal)
• Hindi: Dhanyawaad
• Inuktitut: Taikkuu
• Irish: Go raibh maith agat
• Italian: Grazie
• Japanese: Domo Arigato
• Kashmiri (India, Pakistan): Shukria
• Korean: Komapsumnida
• Persian (Iran): Mamnoon
• Polish: Dziękuję
• Portugese: Obrigado or Obrigada
• Russian: Spasibo
• Spanish: Gracias

Now I need a site to help me with pronunciation!
