German - Freiden (FRI- den)
French - la paix (la pay)
Spanish - paz
Afrikaans - vrede
Arabic - salun (SAL-un)
Czech - mir
Dutch - vrede (FRE-duh)
Greek - erini (YA- rini)
Korean - peonghwa
Hungarian - beka (BE-ka)
Icelandic - friour (FRE-hooh)
Italian - pace (PA-cha)
Japanese - Heiwa (HEY-wa)
Latin - pacem (PA-chem)
Polish - pokoj (PA-kwi)
Romanian - pace (like Italian)
Russian - mir
Swahili - amani
Swedish - fred (e souds like ay)
Turkish - baris (BA-rish)

Please, if you have any other language suggestions, please comment them and I will add! Also, if you say the words in a cool accent, it sounds really cool!
