udhr in 331 languages

Kisses to petlang owners!

Because I am a nice guy, I offer you a link :
http://www.unhchr.ch/udhr/navigate/alpha.htm

(Supposing not all of you already know it)

This is a site any serious conlanger MUST bookmark, since it translates the
whole Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in 331 languages
including pidgins and conlangs (only euroclonic IALs). So it allows you to
compare the aesthetics of your creation with those of natlangs of all origins.

As a teaser, I cut and pasted examples of the first article in 16 languages.

Ko te katoa o nga tangata i te whanaungatanga mai e watea ana i nga here
