One Hundred in different languages

[Karen DeFrank <defrank@VOICENET.COM>]

You may remember me asking a few days ago :
how to say ONE HUNDRED in different languages.
We are going to celebrate the 100th day of school
and I would like to make bookmarks for my kids
with these words and pronunciations.
Can you help my list grow???
And what's going on with Spanish?  I have two different answers!!
How is the Irish version pronounced?

Thanks in advance - you guys are great!!

Japanese:  hyaku ... (heyah'koo)  say the h in he and the y in yah as one
sound ... the e in between is barely noticeable...

Irish (Gaelic): haon cead. There is an accent mark
like the French acute over the e in cead, but I don't know to put in accent
marks on this keyboard.

Spanish:  cien    (thi - EN)
Spanish: Un ciento

Basque: ehun   (eh - OON)

Hebrew:  ma'ah or meya (pronounce:  may-ah)

German: Hundert (one hundred days = ein hundert Tagen)

French: cent

Russian: cto (pronounced shto)

Czech: sto.

Latin: Centum  (KEN-TOOM)

Portuguese: CEM  ("SENG" almost like "SING")
