i only knew the hebrew one…i’m jewish. we have the jewish new year earlier in the year…sometimes it falls in sept, sometimes early oct. but, shana tova is what we say to each other on rosh hashana!

Whoa… can’t believe you have Indonesian on the list! A spelling mistake tho’, it is actually Selamat Tahun Baru :)
Coco, I will edit it, respectfully!
Nice list! Happy New Year!

Wow….I didn’t know any of those….maybe I should add another language to my list of resolutions. *sigh* so much to do in ’08!
Happy TT !
