Scroll to the bottom and you will see Merry Christmas in Every Language. I'm not sure about the pronouncing of it however. But I hope I helped some.

Answer 5

Everyone reckons that they have all the sayings of Merry Christmas but I know of one that they don't have. It is "Khisimusi Lomuhle" and it is from the Siswati langauge from Swaziland. I am trying to learn how to speak this language and through a friend (who is also my translator) I am learning all the time.

God bless and Merry Christmas

Answer 7

rt66lt and Plex indicated nice sites. Unfortunately, spelling of some was not perfect. :(





Polish



"Wesolych Swiat i Szczesliwego Nowego Roku" spelling should be: "Wesołych Świąt i szczęśliwego Nowego Roku"

Pronunciation for Merry Christmas [veh-'soh-lyhh svyat]



Latvian



"Prieci'gus Ziemsve'tkus un Laimi'gu Jauno Gadu!+ " should be "Priecīgus Ziemassvētkus un Laimīgu Jauno gadu" (Merry Christmas and Happy New Year). Pronunciation for Merry Christmas: ['prye-tsee_-goos 'zyemahs-sve_ht-koos]



Lithuanian



"Linksmu Kaledu ir laimingu Nauju metu" should be "Linksmų Kalėdų ir laimingų Naujųjų metų " (Merry Christmas and Happy New Year)

Besides, "Saint" is usually added to the word "Christmas" in Lithuanian: "Linksmų Šv.Kalėdų". Pronunciation: [Leenks-'mooh shven-'tooh ka-'leh-dooh]



(I congratulate) with Christmas - Su Šv.Kalėdom [soo shven-'tom ka-'leh-dom]



Russian



It was even more terrible to see: "Pozdrevlyayu s prazdnikom Rozhdestva i s Novim Godom", because it was only in Latin alphabet (besides it is Pozdravlyayu).

Corrected in Russian: "Поздравляю с Новым годом и праздником Рождества Христова" (I congratulate with New Year and feast of Christmas , because Orthodox Christmas is two weeks later than New Year)



If shortly, "Merry Christmas!" is "Счастливого Рождества!" (Happy Christmas, if literally). Pronunciation: [shchas-'leeh-vah-vah razh-deh-'stvah]



Belarusian (not Belorrusian!)



"Winshuyu sa Svyatami i z Novym godam!" is pronunciation; Belarusian spelling : "Віншую са Святамі і з Новым годам"

where "Святамі" (feasts) may be replaced with "святамі Божага Нараджэння" (feasts of Christmas) or "з Каляднымі сьвятамі " or "з Калядамі" or "Ражджаством Хрыстовым".



Other possible version taking into account Orthodox order of holidays: "З Новым годам i Ражджаством Хрыстовым" or "З Новым годам i Калядамi!" or "З Новым Годам i Нараджэннем Хрыстовым!" - "(I congratulate} with New Year and Christmas"



A different word for Christmas, I think because of old and soviet version and polonized (Koliady) version of the same language.



Pronunciation of the part "with Christmas you!"- "z ka-'lya-da-meeh"



Romani



Spelling: Baxtalò Krečùno thaj Nevo berš! (Happy Christmas and New Year). Pronunciation for Merry Christmas ['bahh-ta-'loh Kre-'chooh-noh].

In Romani dialects Christmas differ, so this is only one of versions. Besides some Roma people are Muslims, some Orthodox, etc.



French



Merry Christmas - "Joyeux Noël" [zhooh-ah-'yeuh noh-'el]



Spanish



Feliz Navidad (Happy Christmas, if literally) [fe-'lith na-veeh-'da(d)]



German



Frohe Weihnacht [froh-'eh 'vay-'na(k)ht]

Frohes Weihnachtsfest

Fröhliche weihnachten

Answer 8

In Mongolian, we say " SHINE JILIIN MEND HURGEY!", I have written it using english alphabet, actually we use russian alphabet with a few added letters.

Now i will write down how to read this sentence above.



Shine:

SH - sounds like sh- shot

I - i- liberal

N- n- new

E- e- end



Jiliin:

J- j- jersey

I- i- liberal

L- l- law

II - e: - need

N-n- new



Mend:

N-n- new

D- d- desk



Hurgey:

H- h- held

U- ou- you

R- r- rent

G- g- get

E-e- end

Y- ye- yet



And remember to read all the letters. If you now russian, japanese, korean etc then you might find it easy to read.
