. I did a typo (20 lashes) - the Gaelic welcome should be spelled failte
NOT faitte.
2. Several different versions came for several languages which is why there
was an "or" posted. Some more are -
Czech:  Vitame vas
Turkish:   Merhaba

3.  Some totally new ones:
Navajo:   Yatahee
Aruban:  Bon bini
and from Sierra Leone
   Krio:  Padi Koosheh
   Mende:  Dahkee, Boo-ah
   Timne:  Sehkeh wahn
