most important and useful sentece in all languages
Krisse Kovacs:
For me the most important sentence is the "I don't speak ___" and insert the language that I use for the sentence. Currently I collected few, and I would need help to collect more, are you in it?
You can send any language, even variants or dialectical version and correct me if any of them is wrong. if you add a language, that us using other than latin alphabet, please add the romanized version (or pronunciation) too!
I will update this list! and you can also use the list too!

The numbers indicate intonation: 1 is even tone, 2 is rising, 3 is falling followed by rising (as in a long, drawn-out whaaaaat), and 4 is falling.
If you want my rather incomprehensible rendering of Pinyin, Waw boo hwei shuo hanyee
(Also think you made a typo with the Norwegian; that should be "snakker" as well.)
GeiYin:
I think Cyrillic won't be useful here so I'll use the common rules of transliteration
:russia: Ya ne govoryu po russki
Bold ones are vowels on which you need make accent with your voice. Also in russian vowels like Я (ya), Ю (yu), Ё (yo) are one letter, so they should be pronounced quickly, not like two sound, but like one.
That's the most mistake I always notice when someone tries to spell:
Я тебя люблю (Ya tebya lyublyu) which means simply: I love you.
And I checked the translation of :poland: Nie znam polskiego
It's more like ''i don't know" instead of "I don't speak"
Not really matter, but let's keep it one style.
I noticed because
:russia: Ya ne znayu russki (I don't know russian)
looked similar for me
Maybe to try learn Polish one day
Ana Nymus:
Ooh, I know one! For Spanish:
:spain: No hablo español.
This is indeed a useful phrase to know in a language!
