Different Languages
I think it's cool to learn how you say merry Christmas in different languages. I picked 25 normal languages and 3 made up languages for you geeks that might be looking at this. I chose my languages by looking at a list of the 30 most widely spoken languages and by adding in a few others that might be cool to know. Go ahead and learn them, impress your friends. Don't ask me to help you pronounce some of these words though.
