revision3.com/dan30/task/break-the-language-barrier-partially-I think that we should help Dan complete this task by posting the words 'hey world' in any non-English language that we speak fluently. That way, we can help him learn how to say it in more than 10 languages, and to make sure he doesn't make any mistakes. Comment below or even post a video showing how to pronounce it. I know that there are people posting their languages as comments on the task but it would be cool if members of the tribe make videos that could later be used as montage.

I think all of us who speak a language other than English should all add to this post with the TEXT to how to say, "Hey World" in their language, then, somebody on the forums can gather them and post them. People who speak the language can go through and see if they are legit because sadly, there are people who will try to get him to say vulgar or profane things. Than once all of them are verified, we ask for audio tapes from the PogoTribe for the pronunciation. Then somebody can put them all together and send them off to Dan.
I hope that made sense and isn't too complicated.
I look forward to feedback.

Sounds good and I really want to see how this works out I'll start, I guess... In Russian, it's "Privyet, Mir!" (Привет, мир!), the pronunciation is a bit tricky, the i in "mir" should sound like "ee" for instance... I'll record it sometime and put a link here.

I am from Denmark and speak Danish.
the Danish translation of Hey World is:
Hej Verden.
Hej is Pronounced pretty much like the word High.
and Verden is pronounced a bit like Vaerden.
i am writing it like this since i do not know how to write phonetically and i am not even sure if Dan can read phonetical language.
Edit: youtube video with pronounciation:

This is great idea! In Latvian (not even close for a big language) it would be "Sveika pasaule!". I think the biggest problems could be with "ei" and "au". "Ei" is spelled just like "ey" in "Hey", but "au" is spelled more like "aw", like in "awful". The "e" in the end is short, like in the word "chess". I hope Dan will be able to say this.

He should learn how to sign it in American Sign Language. And that should be the intro. I don't know how to type that. XD

In turkish, it's "Merhaba Dünya". It's pronounced maer-huh-bah dune-yah. the maer is like the mer of meredith. It seems tricky but actually its pretty simple

German: He Welt!
Pretty self-explanatory. "He" said just like in English. Welt is pronounced like Velt (rhymes with belt).

Comment below or even post a video showing how to pronounce it. There is a site that I used to learn how to say phrases of other languages. www.acapela-group.com/text-to-speech-interactive-demo.htmlthere is a pull down bar to select the voice/language. all he has to do is get the translated phrase, plug it in, find the corresponding language. then he can hit the "Say it!" button and voila.

I think Japanese is "konnichiwa sekai." And it works even better, because sekai is also universe. =)

Kamusta, buong mundo! It means, "What's up, entire world?" in Tagalog (from the Philippines!)
ka (the a is like in the u in "um")-moo-stah boo (it's not like boo though, you sort of cut the syllable in half by not furthering the breath...it's sorta hard to explain)-ong (the o is like the o in "official") moon-doh (like, Homer Simpson's D'oh!)

I'm Welsh and have been speaking the language just as long as I've been speaking English. In Welsh it's Hei Byd. Hei is pronounced basically the same as Hey, but you say it as if it's a question, so your voice should go a bit higher at the end. Byd is pronounced like bead, as in a bead necklace.

In Italian: "Ciao Mondo!", the pronunciation should be: 'ci' like the ch on "chocolate" ,the vowels are pronounced all as 'open' letters (so the a should not be pronunced "ei", but like the enlgish letter I (ai) without the "i". it's pretty complicated, so i link you to the italian aphabet on wikipedia with all the sounds, so you can practice I will try to put a video btw en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_alphabet

Okay, in Esperanto it's "Saluton mondo", and it's easy to pronounce. "Sah-LOO-ton MON-do". But the O's are pronounced like the O in November.
