How to Say Welcome in Different Languages

I am sure that at one point or the other we must have been friends or the least must have known people who speak a language other than the language we speak. Well, I had many. And since English is world's local language, I assume that it would be a little difficult for people to converse, whose first language is not English. Though with time and practice it becomes better than before. Wouldn't it be nice if we could know few simpler words to greet them. It will not only be friendly but also will be welcoming for them.

If you have a friend or partner who is Spanish, the person will love it if you could say greetings in their languages, for example 'welcome' in Spanish or in French for a French pal. Mentioned below is the list of languages and against them is written, how the word 'welcome' is said in other languages. It will not only tell you how to say the word but also how to write it in different languages. On the left is the language and on the right is how 'welcome' is said in that language. Just next to the words you may find few abbreviations like pl.(plural), sing.(singular), formal or informal as per its use.

Language is beautiful. And it is more beautiful when people speak it. Language is as vivid and distinct as the stars in the galaxy. It must be respected. Language is used to express oneself. It is not practically possible to learn different languages and by different, I mean, say more than 10 different languages. The least we can do is learn how to express good sentiments in different languages.
