[Anodyne]

Hmm. What might be interesting is to post the exact same text in many languages. Perhaps something common (=easy to find in the internet), like the Lord's Prayer?

[Kitschum]

X: I've no idea, so lessay Indonesian now then.
Y: Tagalog
Z: Rhaeto-Romanian?

[Anodyne]

Hm. Ok, in case anyone isn't dead bored yet :bored
Here comes the first shot. I try not to include languages already presented here before. The Lord's Prayer in 10 different langauges:

Sample 1:
Ten ni imasu wata****achi no chichi yo
O-na ga agameraremasu yoo ni
O-kuni ga kimasu yoo ni
Mikokoro ga ten de okonawareru yoo ni
Chi de mo okonawaremasu yoo ni
Wata****achi no higoto no kate o
kyoo mo o-atae kudasai
Wata****achi no oime o o-yurushi kudasai
Wata****achi mo wata****achi ni
oime no aru hitotachi o yurushima****a
Wata****achi o kokoromi ni awasenaide,
aku kara o-sukui kudasai
Kuni to chikara to sakae wa tokoshie ni
anata no mono da kara desu
Aamen.

Sample 2:
Faðir vor, þú sem er á himnum.
Helgist þitt nafn, til komi þitt ríki,
verði þinn vilji, svo á jörðu sem á himni.
Gef oss í dag vort daglegt brauð.
Fyrirgef oss vorar skuldir,
svo sem vér og fyrirgefum
vorum skuldunautum.
Og eigi leið þú oss í freistni,
heldur frelsa oss frá illu.
Því að þitt er ríkið, mátturinn og dýrðin
að eilífu amen.

Sample 3:
Aççe min, don,
gutte læk almin.
Basotuvvus du namma.
Bottus du rika.
Shaddus du datto, moft almest,
nuft maidai ædnam alde.
Adde migjidi odna bæive min juokkebæivalash laibbamek.
Ja adde migjidi min velgidæmek andagassi,
nuftgo migis addep min velgolazhaidasamek andagassi.
Ja ale doalvo min gæççalusa sisa.
Mutto bæste min bahast erit.
Dastgo du læ rika ja fabmo ja gudne agalashvutti.
Amen.

Sample 4:
Attatavut killangmetotit,
akkit usorolirsuk;
nallegaueet aggerle.
Pekkurset killangme nuuametog tamaikile;
tuunisigut ullume nekiksautivnik.
Pissaraunatnlo akeetsorauta,
pissengilaguttog akeetsortivut.
Ursennartomut pisitsarauneta;
annatigulle ajortomit.
Amen.

Sample 5:
O Fat obas, kel binol in süls,
paisaludomöz nem ola!
Kömomöd monargän ola!
Jenomöz vil olik,
äs in sül, i su tal.
Bodi obsik vädeliki givolös obes adelo.
E pardolös obes debis obsik,
äs id obs aipardobs debeles obas.
E no obis nindukolös in tentadi,
sod aidalivolös obis de bad.

Sample 6:
Faþer vár es ert a himnom, verði nafn þitt hæilagt
Til kome ríke þitt, værði vili þin
sva a iarðu sem í himnum.
Gef oss ok hværn dag brauð vort dagligt
Ok fyr gefþu oss synþer órar,
sem vér fyr gefom þeim er viþ oss hafa misgert
Leiðd oss eigi í freistni, heldr leys þv oss fra illo.

Sample 7:
E ko makou makua i lako o ka lani,
E hoanoia kou inoa
E hiki mai kou aupuni;
E malamaia kou makemake ma ka honua nei,
E like me ia i malamaia ma ka lani la.
E haawi mai ia makou i keia la, i ai na makou no keia la.
E kala mai hoi ia makou, i ka makou lawehala ana,
Me makou e kala nei i ka poe i lawehala i ka makou.
Mai hookuu oe ia makou i ka hoowalewale ia mai
E hoopakele no na e ia makou i ka ino;
No ka mea, nou ke aupuni
A me ka mana, a me ka hoonaniia, a mau loa, aku, Amene.

Sample 8:
NihiTaa' yá'ââ;shdi honílóonii,
Nízhi' diyingo óolzin le',
Bee nóhólníihii náásgóó k'ee'ââ yilzhish le',
Áádóó bee íinínízinii t'áá yá'ââshdi áánílhígi át'éego Nahasdzá´n bikáa'gi áánílh le'.
Ch'iyáán t'áá ákwíí jí niha'iyílhtsódígíí díí jí nihaa náádiní'aah.
Áádóó t'áá nihich'î' bââhági ádaaníilhii bá

índa ayóó'ánt'é.
T'áá ákót'ée doo.

Sample 9:
'Meän Isä, joka olet taihvaissa !
Pyhitetty olkhoon sinun nimesti.
Tulkhoon sinun valtakuntasti.
Tapahtukhoon sinun tahtosti,
niin taihvaassa ko maan päälä.
Anna meile tänäpänä jokapäivänen leipä,
ja anna meile antheeksi meän velat,
niinko mekki annama antheeksi niile,
joilta met olema saamassa.
Äläkä vie meitä frästaukshiin,
mutta pelasta meän pahasta.
Ko sinun oon valtakunta ja mahti ja herraus iänkaikkisesti.
Ammen. '

Sample 10:
Ojcz nasz,
Ktory jestes w niebie
Swiec sie imie Twoje
Przyjdz Krolestwo Twoje
Badz wola Twoja
Jako w niebie, tak i na ziemi.
Chleba naszego powszedniego daj nam dzisiaj
I odpusc nam nasze winy,
jako i my odpuszczamy naszym winowajcom
I nie wodz nas na pokuszenie,
Ale nas zbaw ode zlego
Amen.

Re: Languages

Aye but the bit in 'scots' is bull****. Who calls it 'televeesion?' And no one I have ever met has used the word 'collogue;. It's the same **** that Scot-lit nut was talking about when he insisted that a 'gawdspink' is a goldfinch. What the hell does it matter if no one actually uses it anymore? In Scottish whether you're dealing with the west coast or the east coast 'television' is a sharply pronounced word. It should be something more like;

"It hauds its anyal confirence, that's been addresst by writurs, acturs, jurnalists, musishuns, telivishin presen'urs, skolurs an uthurs, an does compitishuns makin' baith adults an' bairns write in the lanwidge."

If they're going to do it phonetically they might as well do it right.

[Anodyne]

3. Saami

Correct

4. Inuit

Correct

5. Volapük

Correct. Didn't guess you'd know this fast

6. Faroese

Nope

8. Navajo

Correct!

9. Finnish

Still, semi-correct
I guess even most Finns wouldn't probably know this.

[Kitschum]

Correct answers: AB is indeed Tagalog, and AC is Estonian, keep guessing on AA and AD!

Oh and three more, very guessable:

AE:

Hà dirittu ogni parsona à a libertà di pinsamentu, di cuscenza è di rilighjoni; vali à dì ch'ella hè libara di cambià a so rilighjoni o i so idei, sola o in cumunità, di modu sia publicu sia privatu, cù u insignamentu, i prattichi, u cultu o i riti.

AF:

Mamm a Kand hun d'Recht op speziell Hëllef a Bäistand. D'Kanner alleguer, ob se am odder nët am Bestiednes gebuer gin, kommen an de Genoss vun deem selwechten zoziale Schutz.

AG:

"A revider", io diceva. E io entrava in le sala del cassas forte. "Sorti de illo", le director diceva frigidemente, e ille me indicava le bon cammino. Io vadeva usque al fenestretta del cassero e io pulsava verso ille mi bolla de moneta per un movimento rapide e convulsive, como si iste gesto poteva conjurar le sorte. Mi visage esseva horribilemente pallide.

[ranskaldan]

6. Old Frisian

AA: Croatian
AD: Rhaeto-Romance

AE: Sardinian
AF: Swiss German?
AG: this is weird... I can read much of it but I can't tell what it is! Probably Interlingua?
edit: or Latino sine Flexione (sp)

Z seems to be a bit outlandish:

simsa puzuki falenu la kamtei
co'u vlipa
co finti lo cnino .ije
la kambau ca'o sincydzu
setai le lijgri

[Kitschum]

Anodyne: Lord's Prayer #9: I know, I know! Arrgh... I've read Mikael Niemi, damnit. It must be Tornedalen Finnish. Meänkieli I think it's called.

ranskaldan: Sorry, not correct on either AA, AD, AE or AF. AG however is Interlingua Is Z, Breton?

AA:

Sa e manušikane strukture bijandžona tromane thaj jekhutne ko digniteti thaj čapipa. Von si baxtarde em barvale gndaja thaj godžaja thaj trubun jekh avereja te kherjakeren ko vodži pralipaja.

AD:

Pa fèt pou gen okenn diferans non plis, ki gen rapò ni ak sitiasyon politik, ni ak kalite rapò relasyon diplomatik ki egziste ant peyi kote moun nan ye a ak peyi kote moun nan sòti a, kit se yon peyi oswa yon tèritwa endepandan, kit li anba drapo yon lòt peyi, ki li gran moun lakay li, oswa t a gen kèk règleman ki limite pouvwa peyi sila a pou li pran desizyon poukont li.

[David Floyd]

Here's one for you:

AH:

evam mayā śrutam : ekasmin samaye bhagavān rājaghe viharati sma, gdhrakūe parvate mahatā bhikusaghena sārdha dvātriśatā bhikusahasrai, sarvair arhadbhi kīāsravair nikleśair itavadbhisamyagājñāsuvimuktacittai
parikabhavasayojanasahasrair anuprāptasvakārthair
vijitavadbhir, uttamadamane śamathaprāptai,

[ranskaldan]

Nope. Z is not Breton.
It's a bit of a trick question. That's a hint.

ok, the following are all wild guesses now
AA: Ukrainian? Serbian? Slovenian?
AD: Walloon French or Alsatien French
AE: Corsican or maybe Venetian or Friulian
AF: Austrian German
