Christmas In Different Languages
Record Merry Christmas in a different language!
On this page 'Happy Christmas' is shown in different languages from all around the world!
If you know one that I haven't got, please Contact Us!
If you can say Happy or Merry Christmas in a language that is (or isn't!) on this page, you can record it so I can add it to the page! (The link opens in an 'overlay' and uses Java.)
All you need is a microphone plugged into your computer. (Please put your email address in 'text comments' box, so I can get back to you!)
Some languages below use different characters and alphabets, so I have spelt them in English as best I can!
