European Languages Day

Today, 26th September, is European Languages Day!

Celebrated every year since 2001, this event aims to spread awareness of languages and show that learning them can be fun, interesting and useful.

While many people can speak a little French, Spanish or German, here's how to say hello in some languages that are not as well known...

Hehe (spoken in south-eastern Tanzania) - Sawu
Xaasongaxango (spoken in Mali and Senegal) - I sooma
Q'eqchi' (spoken in Guatemala) - Sahil ch'oolex
Naskapi (spoken in Louisiana and Oklahoma, USA) - Waachiyaa
Adnyamathanha (spoken in southern Australia) - Nhangka
