can you help identify these languages?

Post by Kimberly »

These should both mean something along the lines of "Season's Greetings", but I can't identify the languages. Any suggestions?

Grus Tsayat

Sikukuu Njema

Thanks.

D'après ce que j'ai vu sur google, ce serait du swahili mais je ne sais pas ce que ça veut dire, je ne parle pas encore swahili...

Thank you for your rapid response. My French is rusty, but I believe your response indicates you think one of the above is Swahili. I thought so too (njema seems to be a Swahili word I believe), but I found a different item (I'm working from a list) that I'm pretty sure is Swahili (Kullu Sana Wa Antum bi Khayr), and I don't think there would be two that were both Swahili. Perhaps a language related to Swahili? I'm happy to check other resources if anyone here has an alternate suggestion. Thanks again.

I've looked harder (I've been at this several hours). I think you are correct. Sikukuu Njema is Swahili. Kullu Sana Wa Antum bi Khayr (with possible alternate spelling Khair) seems to be an Islamic language. I've sill working on that. Thanks again.

Grus Tsayat = Season's Greetings [Yiddish]

Sikukuu Njema = Happy Holidays [Swahili]

Kullu Sana Wa Antum bi Khayr = May you be well with every coming year [Arabic]
