HAPPY  ‘26  WISHES IN 26 LANGUAGES
                                             from Anne-Marie 
For practical reasons, I chose to use the Latin alphabet. 
I send my warm wishes (shall I say, I hope) for everyone to enjoy a
peaceful life in 2026. As we all know, cultures and calendars show 
differences from one another. In fact, my ‘western’ concept of wishing Happy New Year can be conveyed with different phrases around the 
world. I’ve tried to transcribe the greetings’ literal translations, but 
please let me know of any corrections or alternatives.

En Français
Pour des raisons de facilité, j’ai choisi d’utiliser l’alphabet Romain. 

Je souhaite (ou plutôt j’espère) que chacun puisse vivre une année 2026 paisible.  Nous savons que les cultures et les calendriers présentent des 
différences. En effet, ma conception ‘occidentale’ des vœux de bonne 
année peut être exprimée de différentes manières à travers le monde. 
J’ai tenté de transcrire la traduction littérale des vœux, mais n'hésitez 
pas à me faire part de toute correction ou suggestion.
