"السلام عليكم" translations in your languages...

[north_malaysian]

In order for people to understand the meaning of the official Muslim greeting "السلام عليكم" , let us give its translations in various languages... :D

In Malaysian language:

"Salam sejahtera ke atas kamu"

[malayloveislam]

I don't know much about Latin, but I had encountered the equivalent of Assalamualaikum in Latin. It is Pax Vobiscum, just checked English Dictionary in the back part.

In Malaysian language:

"Salam sejahtera ke atas kamu"[/QUOTE]


If you say "Salam sejahtera ke atas kamu" to Indonesians,
they will think you say greeting to something over (di atas) their head.

[Al-Hanbali]

:salamext:

English: May Peace Be Upon You :-)

[Abdu-l-Majeed]

As-Salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh = Es-Selamu 'alejkum ve rahmatullahi ve berekatuh.

I've never heard anyone using a translation, but it would go something like: Neka je s vama mir, Allahova milost i blagoslov.

[Periwinkle18]

no one uses the translation here too ppl just say Assalam o alikum

[ardianto]

Official translation in Bahasa Indonesia :

" "

Nobody knows whether the Bosnian language actually exists and I'm not messing with you here.
Bosnia is a complicated country, the entire Balkans is complicated.

As far as I know there is only one language which older Yugoslavia countries speak.They just give different names to one language.In this case , what a Bosnian speak is Bosnian.And what a Serbian speak is Serbian while actually they are the same language.

There were 3 official languages in former Yugoslavia. Serbocoratian, slovenian and Macedonian. After the war Croatian and Serbian were declared the official languages of Croatia and Serbia respectively. There are some minor differences, however certain Croatian dialects are closer to official Serbian than official Croatian and vice versa. Bosniaks have a sort of language, though seeing how three ethnicities live in Bosnia, its usually called Bosniak language.

I knew a Croatian girl who sure thought she spoke Bosnian^o)

As I said, it is a delicate issue.
I know a couple of Bosnian immigrants of all 3 ethnicities and they can't agree on the existence and properties of the Bosnian language.

"The Bosnian Language" is a distinct issue from "Bosniak" Serbian, Croatian, and Bosniak are all simmilar and mutually intelligible, so there is some debate as to if Bosniak is really a distinct "language" rather than a dialect, kind of likt the debate over if Serbian is really distinct from Croatian but I don't know of any doubt that this, at the very least, dialect/language actually exists. It is acknowledged in international treties and there are books written about it.

Ok, I guess I stand corrected. I'll try to look into the issue.

My ex-husband lived and studied before (at 1970s´) in Sarajevo. He told that serbs and bosniaks spoken almost same language but they had some different dialects together.

When everyone got along slightly better, there was only one official language, serbocroatian.
