Baby/child in all languages
Toby OCM
can give me as many words for baby/child in as many languages as possible,
including slang terms and any other baby-related words (such as 'progeny').
As a public service to help any future seekers for this piece of
information, I will put the list up on the web afterwards.
Many thanks. (and sorry if this triggers a great big thread)
Regards,
Toby

I'm mainly just looking for "child" and "baby".
Would you be able to give me a transliteration in Roman script?

Welsh: Child is 'plentyn', plural 'plant'. Boy or son is 'mab', plural
meibion', girl is 'geneth', plural 'genethod', daughter or woman is
'merch', plural 'merched', baby is 'baban', plural 'babanod', or 'babi'
no plural given (probably 'babis', but not for purists).

Thanks Irina.
In hindsight, I think I would rather abstain from including _малой maloy_
and _малая malaya_ into the Russian list, for these more likely than not
have to do with dialect usage. Apologies.

Well, since nobody seems to have sent a Spanish answer, here's my attempt,
with just the more usual terms. I know there's a great deal more.
for baby:
bebé / rorro / crío / criatura / nene / niño de pecho / niño de teta /
recién nacido
for child the main words are:
niño (masc.) / niña (fem.)
There are many other words in Latin American Spanish, such as:
pibe (Arg.)
chamaco (Mex.)
Two slang words commonly used in Spain, both taken from the gipsy language
(like much of Spanish slang), are:
churumbel (small child; applied mostly to gipsy children and therefore
may have a racist tinge).
chaval (boy; in general use, most people don't identify it as a gipsy
word).
Also, in the village where I live in Central Spain the main word for child /
boy is :
guacho
For older boys the usual words are:
muchacho (boy)
muchacha (girl)
mozo ("boy" or "young man", sometimes applied to unmarried men even if
they have grey hair)
moza (girl, young woman)
rapaz (boy)
I'll try to send more data if there's no more help from other Spanish
speakers, especially with the rich vocabulary of Latin American Spanish.

You got most of them, I think. There are words like Reivunge, nurk,
sønn, datter, and then I think we should also include barn.
Tror du Toby trenger en engelsk gjengivelse av de enkelte ordene? Hva
med flertallsformer?

In Bulgarian:
Child: dete, dechko (diminutive)
Baby: bebe, bebence (diminutive), pelenache (synonym)
Translitteration according to ISO R9
In Dutch:
Child: kind, kindje, koter (slang)
Baby: baby, baby'tje, zuigeling
Do you want some more expressions for young children? Here we go:
Kleingoed, klein grut, gebroed, jonggeborene, boorling or boreling,
zuigkind, fleskindje, kleine, uk, ukkepuk, kleintje, worm, kleuter, dreumel,

can recognise them. The perfectly respectable Danish word 'pije',
though, wouldn't do in Britain! 'Crapaud' is not very nice, is it? Maybe
it only applies to other people's babies. (;-)

"guagua" for baby (Bolivia, Chile)
"cabro" (Chile) and "chango" (Argentina) for child.

Amazingly, nobody has yet provided a list in Swedish, so I'll try:
baby -- baby, bebis, spädbarn
child -- barn, unge
Additions welcome; I have a distinct feeling there are more words, but I
can't think of any right now.

Etter et par pils er "rederedt" (redereder, rederedtling) det
be...første jeg kommer opp med. Både det og slikt som tomreiring,
kårfugl (kårhøne...unnskyld, altså), sjølduner, enemark-eter osv. får
fort et Aasensk schwung som ikke passer til bruksområdet. Men om
"utflyttingsalder minus 6 år" har jeg nok fått tenkt meg om lenge nok
til å gi deg et bedre forslag.

My Nor>Eng dictionary defines it as "rabble, dregs of
society", but I've only heard it used in connection with
irritating children. It seems to have come "through french
from Latin 'rus'" ... (coarse?) but how did it get from
there to "krapyl"?
Ingrid, who has to stop digging through dictionaries and
start doing something more deadline-oriented.

I always thought this was a straight french word import, "crapule"
(norwegiopronouncified).

I have to stop trying to think before I've finished my first
cup of coffee! The "rus" was Norwegian, not Latin, which
brings us to "crapula"!
