Boujou ! (This means "Hello," "Goodbye," and "Kiss" in Norman French, used throughout Normandy for various occasions!)

And here's another one: À tantôt !

- This one is the Norman equivalent of the French "À bientôt" (See you soon). : D

Gore gore gore gore no što gore gore dolje = the hills up there are burning worse than the hills down below

I'd like to just have 1 word (or sentence) from as many different languages as possible for fun!

hi, the word will be "amping", it means take care. it has deep meaning, as it's usually said to your loved ones or friends.

also "manga-on ta" it's just a phrase that u would say to someone, when u are eating.it's just a courtesy of inviting them to eat. regardless if you have a packet of biscuit only. it comes with our hospitality - regardless if u know the person or not, we would just say - manga-on ta 😊

Вестимо (vestimo)
Of course, naturally

It's not in my Mother tongue ,but in japanese which I'm studying.ベッド[romanji:beddo] ,it's my fav word in Japanese (: bcs the romanji sounds kinda fun,btw it means bed

jou ma (meaning have a wonder day)

Māori one of 3 official languages of New Zealand - Aotearoa: He ara roa, he ngū, he āwhā kua kawea, ā, e tū tonu ana te tangata. - A long road, a quietness, storms carried, and still the man stands.
e hoa - my friend/ e ipo - my lover / kia kaha - be strong / Kia ora - informal hello prononced Key-OR-ah w a slightly rolled R/ aroha - love but its true meaning goes much deeper. / wairua - spirit but again its true meaning is much deeper / taonga - treasure but a much deeper cultural meaning. Māori isn't like any other language in that regard.

I'll just add a poetic phrase from Assamese romantic literature, it was the only thing I could think of,

Assamese: "তুমি মোৰ নিশাৰ তৰা, অন্ধকাৰত পোহৰ দিয়া"

English: "You are my star of the night, bringing light into the dark."

Latinised (based on how it sounds like when spoken, not accurate because some sounds in our vocabulary isn't found in English): "tumi mur nixar tora, ondhokarot puhor diya"

It comes from a poem by Assamese poet Hemchandra Goswami called "প্ৰেয়সী" (pronounced: Preyosi; translates to: Beloved)

There's also a word "শেৱালী" (Xewali) which is the Night-flowering Jasmine in English, this specific flower is pretty common in Assamese poetry because It blooms only at night and drops to the ground by dawn.

Assamese is written with the same script as Bengali... Here is the Bengali version of your Assamese line - তুমি আমার রাতের তারা, অন্ধকারে জ্বলজ্বল করো।
