	This is a great quiz, but somewhat problematic. Many of these words do not use the latin alphabet, and therefore can have many different transliterations depending on the system or spelling convention used. I suggest researching this a bit more and then listing multiple accepted answers. For example, "pyonghwa" should be accepted for Korean as well as "phyongh'wa," which is what you have. Also, the correct spelling of the Welsh word is "Heddwch" with no "i." The letter "w" is a vowel in the Welsh language.

	@emily: Scottish is a language. More precisely from the Celtic language family. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic_language

	Bray:	Nov 5th, 2008 at 16:01 GMT		2 points
	Yes, it means Scottish Gaelic. ;)

	Is this possible? I'm not sure of anyone who knows 46 languages especially from such a wide geographic range.

	Actually, Eskimo would be considered derogatory. The language of the Inuit is Inukitut and I would love to see other languagess which have their own alphabet written in their alphabet when we write in the Roman alphabet.(and especially the Inukitut syllabics). For example Mir in Russian is written MNP

	Also, it is not techinically wrong, but Vrede is the noun in Afrikaans, a more proper way to say would be vredeheid, the state of peace, which is the conditional noun.

	"Su Thai Binh" is not Peace in Vietnamese, it's "Hoa Binh". Some fact checking would be nice.

	The Albanian word for peace is "paqe" not "pake"

	They made a mistake in the placement of the fada for the Irish one. It's Síocháin, not Sióchain. I know it doesn't really matter since the word still comes up if you misplace the fada, but still.

	this game sucks... its solh in persian, not sula... and persian isnt a language, its farsi

	Krzysztof:	Aug 5th, 2009 at 04:44 GMT		1 point
	Everyone's complaining, so it's my turn too :) The Polish version should accept the correct spelling (second vowel is "ó" not "o"), I wouldn't mention it, but I see you've got the "ó" letter in other words (Irish, although apparently incorrect, and Klingon).

	@dan12: The Academy of the Persian Language and Literature begs to differ: http://heritage.chn.ir/en/Article/?id=88. If English-speakers can call Spanish Spanish and not "Español" or "Castellano," we can call Persian Persian.

	scurry:	Dec 7th, 2009 at 22:36 GMT		2 points
	Dan12 is absolutely right about solh being the Persian word for peace. Persian is probably the best word to use in English, although it is less accurate than Farsi or Parsi because Tojiki and Dari (etc.) are sometimes classified under "Persian", but never under "Farsi". Persian however sounds much more natural in English.

	The Zulu word for peace is actually uXolo. Ukuthula is the verb, to be quiet or still, which could mean peaceful in translation, but uXolo is a better translation. If you say "thula" to someone in South Africa, it would more likely come across as "be quiet."

	In Swahili, you can also use "salama".

	Although not wrong, "Sulh" is a little outdated word for Turkish. "Barış" is used more.

	I come from Bosnia and Herzegovina and this is the first time I hear the word Spokoj.I live in two cities and every person I know uses the term Mir.

	Roman:	Oct 12th, 2010 at 20:50 GMT		1 point
	Ok, I have issues with "ukuthula" Ukuthula, (Ndiyakhuluma isiZulu) is the infintive of a verbal stem as opposed to the others which are nouns. Thula would be more correct as that is the verb -noun stem. For instance, Ndiyakhuluma isiZulu- -Khuluma is the stem to speak, Ndi is the relative pronoun and the verbal stem can change to conjuagate with the relative pronouns, adjectives, etc,etc,etc. Thula is correct as peace by itself without being modified in any context

	Spokoj in Bosnian? I've only ever heard "mir". Spokoj seems to be Polish.
