Hello, Suilad, Aiya, Bonjour, Hola, Hallo, Jambo, Hei, and QuchwIj yIyach! You have reached the languages section of Hannah's W'oW. From this page you will learn necessary phrases in different languages that will enable you to blend in with the locals of a certain culture. After all, you never know when you might meet a Fin, a Spaniard, an Elf, an African, or a Trekkie (yes, trekkies are a species unto themselves). If you have a phrase to contribute or a language to request, drop me a line in the guestbook, Email or AIM. Have fun!...
