Online Audio Language Database?
February 2, 2015 11:44 AM

I once read a language encyclopedia which had the Lord's Prayer printed in lots of different languages. I'm looking for the same thing (not necessarily the Lord's Prayer), but audio. I want to hear a passage translated into many different languages and real aloud. I've exhausted my Google skills. Anyone know of such a source?

Omniglot.com has the first article of the UN Declaration of Human Rights and Genesis 11:1-9 in about a zillion languages each, many with sound recordings.

Not different languages, but different accents: George Mason University's Speech Accent Archive

It's people with different accents of the English language (from Afrikaans to Zulu) reading the same statement (Please call Stella. Ask her to bring these things with her from the store: Six spoons of fresh snow peas, five thick slabs of blue cheese, and maybe a snack for her brother Bob. We also need a small plastic snake and a big toy frog for the kids. She can scoop these things into three red bags, and we will go meet her Wednesday at the train station.)
