Wow! That's a pretty comprehensive list. I have a feeling I'll be looking at it frequently.

Like Rob I am eagerly anticipating the next Elvish tennis player, I may have to cheer him on regardless of whether it will help/hinder the Brit rankings.

Brilliant, Arka!

But what the heck IS Elvish?

The Swedish one sounds like somebody misheard - "come again?"

Mad, I'm guessing that you never watched the Lord of the Rings films ?

Well you see, on Middle Earth there is: the race of men, the race of dwarfs, the race of elves, the race of hobbits, wizards, orcs etc. The Elvish race received one of the rings of power which all obey to the ONE ring.

They have their own tongue, I believe Arka can speak a good bit of it.

I doubt that anyone other than the Master himself can speak it. I know loads of words and sentences though.

Searched for upon request -

Romanian: Hai!



Many of these aren't translations of "come on" but what people use to cheer people on. For example, 'forca' means "let's do it" in Portuguese, but that's what they use to cheer people on.
