Chinese Language

This is an Adventist church. We don’t know if it is non denomination

church or not.

This was the only board where we had Urdu. But we also have English translation. But there was no Hindi.

Here it was a travel agency and they had Arabic and English. But they don’t have it in Urdu and the Arabic was written on the bottom.

Multilingual

Here we had a few languages but it was interesting how Russian was put in a corner and it almost was not as visible as the other ones. But we did not have Arabic or Urdu that were used on boards in that area itself.

Chinese Language

The first part is more calligraphic and is simplified while the second part is non simplified. They have the English translation.

Bangla Language

Here the sign is in two languages Bangla and English like some of the Chinese pictures. But

the Korean picture had no translation.

Korean, English, Arabic, Bangla and Urdu.• The demography of the area was :White Population:35,598 Black Population:2,114 Hispanic Population:45,529 Asian Population:41,175 Indian Population:705 Hawaiian Population:75 Other Population:19,960
