Welcome to Mohhelp Website. Welcome to Mohhelp Website.
Although this site is solely written in English, if English is not your mother tongue (as is my case), I want to make it up to you by, at least, welcoming you in your native language. If you click the thumbnail beside, you'll see the high-resolution image (350 kb of size !!). I hope you like it and you can find your language represented.
Do you want to help me to add more languages?
I want to make my "Languages-of-the-World Welcome Collection" bigger by adding more languages to it. I'm particularly interested in the most common way of writing the word "welcome" in these languages :
- Urdu (India, Pakistan);
- Wu (China);
- Javanese (Indonesia);
- Marathi (India);
- Telugu (India);
- Tamil (India);
- Cantonese (China)
- Sanskrit, Gujarati, Urdu, Punjabi, etc.
- any other spoken language that doesn't use the Latin script.
Note that I collect the most common way of saying "welcome" since, from my researches, I've found that in many countries the word can be written in many different ways. I need just one way, the most common way the native people use, the way that means just that: Welcome! Please, do not confuse it with the meaning of welcome as in the very used phrase "You're welcome" because this is not the welcome I collect. The "welcome" I collect is the one that's used as a kindly greeting.
I'm also interested in the word "Welcome" in other different languages like the Eastern European languages, among others.
If you want to send me the way your people say "welcome", please, for me to be able to transform the word in something like what you can see in the collection (with the flag of the country dressing and making the word), I need that:
- You send me the word in the original native alphabet of your language; you can also send me the english transliterated version of it (using the Latin alphabet) but I like the different alphabets and the native and true way of writing the word so my best interest is in the native way of writing the word.
- You send me word preferably in graphic format, i.e., as a picture (.bmp, for instance); If it's not possible for you to prepare such a picture, then send it the way you can and I'll find a way to make it render properly in my system (You can also just send me an Internet address that has the native word, showing me exactly where it is, and I'll find a way to use it).
The picture you are going to send me (if possible) must have the word welcome (in your language, of course) written in black, over a white background, and using big letters, like this:
- You tell me the name of the language and from which country is the word you're sending me, so I can know which flag to use.
- My e-mail is andre@viol.net.
Really thanks!

All the other welcome words are responsibility of my own researches in many related Internet sites. The flags used to create the words are taken mainly from the World Flag Database website but also from the Flags of the World. Other great websites about languages that I use are Omniglot, SIL International and Linguasphere.
