I like your use of foreign languages in the show and I am curious what the characters are saying since no subtitles are given.
1. What was Megan saying in Martian in Bereft?
2. What were the Bialyan soldiers saying in Arabic in Bereft? (You mentioned it was Arabic in the questions before)
3. What was Aqualad saying in the Atlantean language when he was dehydrated in Bereft?
4. What were the Rhelasian diplomats saying in Targets and what language was it?

QUESTION 1.
Line #1. MISS MARTIAN (VO)
Katchhhhaa, s’nomoth… K’azzar M’gann? N’da M’arzz…
[Ohh, my head… Where am I? This can’t be Mars…]
Line #2. MISS MARTIAN (VO CONT)
Ah’lunzz… s’sess b’rakahzz… <deep breath> Hw’asheta!
[One moon… white sand… Oxygen!]
(then out loud in English)
Hello, Megan! I’m on Earth!
QUESTION 2.
PATROL LEADER #1 shouts in ARABIC:
25. PATROL LEADER #1
Mat khalee-homshee yih-raboo!
[Don’t let them escape!]
79. PATROL LEADER #2
Sahibit il galala tureadahoo hayan!
[Her Majesty wants him alive!]
82. PATROL LEADER #2
Kifaya! Idrab nar!
[Enough!! Open fire!]
QUESTION 3.
141. AQUALAD
Tula, LIHS-soh-meh… ah-gah-PAH-oh seh…
[Tula, please… I love you…]
174. AQUALAD
<moan> Tula… dih-NA-meh-tha EH-tih ehn Atlantis sim-bih-OH-se…
[Tula… we can still be together in Atlantis…]
QUESTION 4. The language that Tseng and Li were speaking was Rhelasian, which is VERY similar to Korean. The language that Police Captain Xiaping was speaking was Chinese (but I forget which kind):
18. XIAPING
Pa shya! Me gar en pa shya! [Down! Everybody down!] /
21. XIAPING (OS)
Bu yao doung! Don’t move!
36. TSENG, SINGH MANH LI (OVERLAPPING)
<efforts> Jun jah shik, nae gah son, po joo get suh!
[Let me at him!]
162. XIAPING
Zhua tzuh sa so!
[Stop the assassins!]
NOTE: This last was an animation error that we just didn't have time to correct. It was supposed to be Xiaping, so the words were in Chinese. But it was animated as Tseng.
