Common mathematical terms in different languages!
(I apologize in advance for my preference of languages using the Roman alphabet. This is in no way meant to suggest that people speaking the following languages have made more significant contributions to math than people speaking languages that are not included, and is instead a side effect of the compiler's inability to read these alphabets, thus preventing error-checking. I'll be happy to add languages if anyone with better language skills wants to help!)
Corrections by fluent speakers are welcome. Note: when a word has multiple meanings, we are looking to specifically choose the one that relates to the mathematical concept.
