Thanks

A friend of mine in our church's choir has to sing a song called Malo! Malo! Thanks Be to God for a Thanksgiving service. She was asking me for help with pronunciation.

It's not the greatest song (there's a clip on YouTube), but I like that the songwriter included words for "thank you" from languages that are relatively obscure (to most Americans...); alas, no Northern Sami. ;-P

Here is a list. Can you guess what languages they are? The answers are in the LJ-CUT.
