People lets start this thread about how to talk in each language, as the common language is english so lets help each other to pronounce those words as well...

Let 'love' be the first one...

I LOVE YOU - mai tum se pyaar karta hoon

mai tum (as in 'room', only the oo sound is short) se (as in 'ray') pyaar karta hoon

So how do you say I LOVE YOU in your language.. just append it...

[Yashodhara]

What a lovely topic!
That would be "Ich liebe Dich" in German.

[mani]

I LOVE YOU

Marathi:
me tula prem karto / Karte
Mala tujha war prem aahe
mala tujjhia shi prem aahe


Hindi :
Mujhe aapse pyaar hai

Sindhi :

Mukhe tohsan pyaar aah
Maa tohkhe pyaar kando Aahyanh


Gujrati:

Maane tara thi prem che

Mercurie, do you mean Te Deum?  It's latin and  is an old Christian hymn : Te Deum Laudamus ( We praise you God)

"Ti" means "to you" (tee)
"amo" means " love" (a is like 'father' - m - o like 'bone')

Gujrati:

Maane tara thi prem che

In Arabic:

Ana behibak (to male)
Ana behibek (to female)

In Gujarati:

Hoo tane (taney) prem karoo (karoo not kaaroo) chhoo

Mani, what you had put above for Gujarati means I am in love with you.

[Yashodhara]

...and how could I forget: "Tora dost daram" in Farsi.
As for the pronounciation, anyone a bit familiar with Hindi/Urdu will not have any problems wit the above. The German pronounciation is harder though because I don't think this "ch" sound actually exists in English. Try saying "sh" and then slowly let go of the "s", sorry I cannot explain this any better. "Ich liebe Dich" would then be "Eech leebe Deech", is that really any help, Phantom? Maybe uploading soundfiles will be an option

I dont think you would have any problem with my Bengali... Ami tomeke bhalobashi !!!!!

Where are these languages spoken, are they African?

Yes, they are African languages.  Ndebele is very much akin to Zulu, but is considered 'old fashioned' by the Zulus in South Africa.

Nakupenda or Ninapenda Wewe

In Kiswahili (language of Tanzania/Kenya).

Careful Judi, You'll be getting Phantom excited again! You know what he's like!  

[Yashodhara]

I bet Phantom only started this thread, so he could have us all utter our affection for him. I mean he started the thread, and everyone is just adding countless "I Love You's". That's clever   .
