Click here for the current version. This page not updated or checked for accuracy as frequently as the greetings pages, and therefore may contain errors, inconsistent orthography, and transliterations in place of native scripts. I will make corrections to this page as needed when I am notified of errors, but (except for the correction of errors) any additions and native scripts will appear only on the current version of this site. See Jennifer's Language Page and the greetings lists (updated regularly) for the most complete and accurate lists of translations and for greeting phrases in more than 3000 languages written in their native scripts and alphabets.
