World Peace card Details:
There are fewer than 20 writing systems in the world, about 100 written
languages and over 5000 spoken languages, all of which has complicated
language representation on the Peace Card. The languages were selected
with these criteria:
* recent areas of conflict (Arabic for Palestine, Iraq and other Middle
Eastern countries, Hebrew for Israel, Pashto for Afghanistan)
* permanent members of the United Nations' Security Council (China,
England, France, Russia, United States)
* representation from each continent
* indigenous representation (Mayan, Inuit, Hawaiian, Onondagan)
The Peace Card, like peace itself, is an intricate weave that honors
diversity and celebrates the world community. It speaks the language
of peace.
Listed below are the words for peace and their origins:
* PEACE: English — Australia, Canada, England, USA.
* AMAN: Urdu — Pakistan, India.
* AMNIAT: Pashto — Afghanistan, Pakistan.

than 22 countries, from Morocco to Iraq, and as far south as Somalia
and the Sudan. Also by Palestinians in West Bank and Gaza.

and western regions, and Taiwan.

by 1987, public schools were again allowed to teach the language.
* SULH: Dari — along with Pashto, one of the two official languages
of Afghanistan. About 1/3 of the population speaks Dari and it serves
as the means of communication between speakers of different languages.
* PAKE: Albanian — is spoken by about 6,400,000 inhabitants of

of the elderly.

million Mayan speakers.
* HEIWA: Japanese — Japan; a language of uncertain origin, believed
to be linked to both Altaic languages (Turkish, Mongolian, etc.) and

language uses Chinese characters as one of its writing systems, Chinese
is a completely different language whose pronunciation and grammar
are completely different and cannot be understood by a Japanese person
unless they have studied it.
