[Wikipedia-l] Il love you - in many languages

One thing especially important here is the absence of non-Roman
scripts where they would normally be used (Greek, Russian, etc).

I can tell you though:

O'odham- "Añi añ sem hohid"
Hopi- "Nuʼ umi unangwáyʼta"
Zuni: "Tom ho' ichema"
Yiddish: "‫איך האָב דיך ליב ‬"

I know a lot of others (especially in Arizonan languages) but it's too
much trouble to type the lot of them (special characters).
