"byth bythoedd" is Welsh for "ever and ever" or "tragwyddol" for eternity

Esperanto: eterneco

Volapu:k: laidu:p

 

(NB the : represents an umlaut on the u)

bernado, JFYI � = Alt0252. 

 

Gaelic is not a language related to Latin!

French: �ternit�

Italian: eternit�

Spanish: eternidad

 

Sorry, bernardo.

Gaelic is not closely related to Latin, but it is distantly related to Latin in that they are both in the Indo-European family of languages.  This fact is of course irrelevant to the question, which did not specify any need for any particular language to be related to Latin or not.

 

P .S. but how do I use the fact that u umlaut is Alt0252 (whatever that is) in order to type a u with an umlaut on it?  In the old days (before the AB text-editing revolution) I would have written ü but that doesn't work any more.

Hold down the Alt key and type 0252. Release the Alt key. Voil�: �.

Here is a link to a character map of these ASCI codes:

Er... I tried that but it didn't work.  I've got a book which lists the &# number codes, but they don't work here any more either. 

German: Ewigkeit

 

eternity =  s�orraidheachd ( Scot.Gaelic)

                 s�orraiocht ( Irish Gaelic)
