Please share your keyboards in other languages

[LauderSyme]

I love letters, words and lexicons, probably goes without saying here.

Would anyone with a keyboard in a non-Roman alphabet language like to share a sentence? I'll start. Bonus points for anyone who can translate into English. Mine is easy!

Είναι όλα ελληνικά για μένα.

EE-neh AW-lah elli-ni-KA ya MEN-na

Ukrainian rather than Ukraine!

Oh I might have a look at that, sounds great!

@Melassa has it @LauderSyme and @picklesandcucumbers! It's Urdu (very similar script to Arabic and Persian) and it says "I'm tired" or transliterated as "Main (I) thakk (tired) gayi (gone/become- feminine) hou(n) (am)"! 😂

I am still learning
My spoken and reading is better than my written!

In reflection I think you are right and it does say Ukraine!

I'm very very rusty!

@ApocalypseNowt - I always wonder why I speak it better than I write? Hand writing is my most awful - reading handwriting it and writing it. I have special books to help with formation - like we had as 4 yr olds!

Yes I find the same! I think it's because most stuff is spelt phonetically so once you know the letters you can read and speak fairly easily. Writing (or typing!) a different alphabet requires a lot more brain power!

I am quite envious of all your linguistic skills. Mine only extend to very basic (failed) 'O' level French.
Is 63 too late to learn a new language do you think and which one is easiest to learn?
I still have a yearning to go for British Sign Language and try and do something useful with it. Maybe this is the year.

Is 63 too late to learn a new language do you think and which one is easiest to learn?

Never too late, of course. I'd choose a language I can use with someone in real life - it's a huge advantage.

Never too late, and also very good for your brain - it's one of the things that's recommended in any article that you read about dementia. Along with doing puzzles like crosswords and sudoku.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful posts 😍

Google Translate shows me many more fabulous languages. I had no idea there are so many Cyrillic tongues and the swirly scripts of the Indian subcontinent - and further East - are wonderfully graceful.

Is this one in fact Arabic?!

Such an interesting thread!

(The beauty of the mind is seen in the face)

@mizu It also looks similar to Pashto?

@icingonthecake7 Is your language Tamil?

Hunting for yours I discovered two other languages with very pretty scripts, which I have never hitherto heard of, called Kannada and Malayalam.

@LauderSyme it is Arabic. Same alphabet as Farsi / Pashtu.

@mizu Oh dear feeling my ignorance here. I thought the only language that uses Arabic lettering is Arabic. Thanks for the info!

@LauderSyme yes, Tamil - considered the oldest living language and very beautiful both written and spoken.
