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

In Malaysian language:

"Salam sejahtera ke atas kamu"

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** · 12-29-2008

English: May Peace Be Upon You :-)

PAX VOBISCVM
it should be capitalized, Romans only new capital letters.

Turkish :
Allah'ın selameti üzerine olsun

Urdu: App per Salamti ho.

**Abdu-l-Majeed** · 12-30-2008

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** · 12-30-2008

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

**ardianto** · 12-30-2008

Official translation in Bahasa Indonesia :

" "

( Nothing. Never translated. )

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.
