(original)English: Lies and slander!German: Lügen und Verleumdungen!Spanish: ¡Mentiras y falsedades!Italian: Menzogne e diffamazioni!Latin: Mendacia et crimina falsa!Cayuga language: Sheyehsahdahnǫh! linguaholic and ryankopf 2 Quote

petrushka Posted December 5, 2014 Report Posted December 5, 2014 I'm still learning Japanese so I had to look slander up on a dictionary, haha. Anyone more fluent is free to correct me: 嘘と讒誣 (うそとざんぶ - uso to zanbu)PS:In Cebuano, a Philippine dialect it would beHope you don't mind me hijacking your post, takibari! I just wanted to clarify that Cebuano is a Philippine language rather than a dialect. The Bisaya language has a lot of dialects - the major of which are these four: Boholano and Southern Kana, Northern Kana, Mindanao Cebuano, and Davaoeño - just like Tagalog has Batangas Tagalog (Batangeño), Bulacan Tagalog, etc. Quote
InfiniteGeko Posted December 5, 2014 Report Posted December 5, 2014 "Mentiras y calumnias!" would be for Spanish."Ложь и клевета!" would be for Russian. I believe that is pronounced, "Lozh' ee kleveta!" Quote
