Hey. I'm working on a project in which I need to include the word 'Art' written in as many differant languages as I can get, including symbolic languages such as Japanese and Arabic.

This is all I have so far...and I got them using Google translator
German - kunst
Spanish - arte
French - art
Are any of these missing any letter symbols (not sure what they're called)?

If anybody knows how to write 'art' in any language at all, i'd really appretiate any help. Thanks a lot

Or maybe somebody knows of a website that has translations for all languages, including symbolic languages?

Actually the binary representation is 0100,0001 0101,0010 0101,0100
(That's capital letters by the way)

Here's it is in octal ASCII: 101 122 124

For those curious about the latin alphabet representation of the Russian искусствоо

I think it would be something like iskusstvoo (ees-koost-vu)

But then again I don't speak Russian, I just know how to transliterate Cyrillic into Latin alphabets.

The Russian is actually 'ИСКУССТВО', I am not sure where the second 'o' the others have came from.

I would transliterate it as 'Iskustvo', all the vowels are short and the last letter is an 'o'; 'ees-koost-vu' sounds like the accusative form, though that would be spelled with the Russian 'u' (written as 'y') on the end.

When going between Romance and Balto-Slavic languages letter duplications are often not preserved. For example, when Russian slang adopted the English 'Traffic' it became 'Трафик'.

I see

I consider myself an extremely amateur transliterator who is trying to learn how to say stuff in Russian as:
1. A precursor to maybe learning a bit of the language.
2. So I know how to pronounce Russian words I see on TV and stuff.

Egads, man! Why on earth would you want to do that?

Awful language to learn, especially if you speak a Romance language natively. Both the grammar and the pronunciation will cause you no end of trouble.

Incidentally, I can't claim to be any sort of professional transliterator either, I just happen to speak the language

Nepalese and Hindi(Indain) both Languages use same word for Art=(pronounced as) "kala"
