Where can I find the Japanese words for uncommon languages? |
Travel Info Okay, so I know obvious languages in Japanese: 鑻辫獮 - English 銈裤偆瑾?- Thai 涓浗瑾?- Chinese 銈广儦銈ゃ兂瑾?- Spanish 銈广儻銉掋儶瑾?- Swahili etc. But, I have never seen lists of less common languages. For instance: Farsi Yoruba Hausa Zulu Xhosa Amharic Tamil Bengali Punjab Uzbek Afrikaans etc. Is there a website that lists such languages in Japanese? Although some of them may be like Swahili and sound the same, I hate making assumptions, so any help is appreciated. Travel Tips Lists of language codes : ISO 639 http://www.wdic.org/w/wdic/iso%20639... RFC-1766 http://www.marbacka.net/msearch/sprakkod... Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/iso_639... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ietf_langua... Other Travel Tips How about wikipedia? google with the keyword "Farsi Wiki" --> Open the page in Wikipedia. Then click銆€鏃ユ湰瑾?in "the other languages" box. Xhosa is little difficult. Its a local language though, most Japanese don't have a chance to write and use in Katakana. Maybe Xhosa is enough, like http://homepage2.nifty.com/paf00305/lang... You have to go a fair way down before you hit the languages though this was cool http://www.nacos.com/moji/index_b.htm... The worlds writings in Japanese - 銈偆銉炪儵鏂囧瓧 new word! http://www.languagemuseum.com/japan/... This gave descriptions of languages in Japanese, But not the actual name of languages, why? Anyway it was fun, hope it helps edit The BEST site http://2yaku.net/japanese/others/langlis... search by country H.S.E. Nice work! Please ignore best site above, look below. You seem to have more than a passing interest in Japanese. Perhaps it's time to get a good off-line dictionary. such as 銉兗銉€銉笺偤 + 銉椼儵銈?V2 . http://www.amazon.co.jp/%e7%a0%94%e7%a9%... This is a must-have dictionary for English-Japanese translators and answers most of your questions, if not all. I use the CD-ROM version above but it is available on many electronic portable dictionaries as well. Online subscription is also availabe here: http://kod.kenkyusha.co.jp/service/... Another good service, this one online and free, is Eijiro. http://www.alc.co.jp/ Use it with a great caution, though. This dictionary is basically compiled by volunteers and no one is really verifying its content. As a result, it has some spectacular mistakes as well as very useful entries. You just use the katakana+go. |
