..http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profanity said:Profanity in different languages
For reasons of differing cultural, linguistic and historical backgrounds, the profanities of different languages place emphasis on different subject matter. In briefest summary, here is a list showing main differences or emphasis for some common languages:
- English: sex, excrement, homosexuality, religion, incest, increasingly bigotry, racial/ethnic hatred, and prejudice.
- French: sex, excrement, religion, racial/ethnic hatred.
- German: Equating people with animals, (i.e., Schweinehunde), sex, excrement, bigotry/prejudice, Nazi terminology.
- Norwegian: Predominantly religion/blasphemy in the south, but more genitals and sexual acts with animals further north in the country
- Russian: sex and foul language, excrement, mental illness, equating people with animals, ethnic hatred.
- Polish: sex, prostitution, homosexuality, diseases, excrement, comparing people to pigs and dogs
- Spanish: religion, incest, homosexuality, excrement, prostitution.
- Swedish: sex, excrement, homosexuality, blasphemy and use of English.
- Portuguese: sex, homosexuality, prostitution.
- Dutch: diseases, self-damnation and blasphemy.
- Irish: religion (damnation, blasphemy), some sexual terms, and some excrement
- Scots Gaelic: sex, excrement, religion, English-Scottish tensions
- Welsh: sex, excrement, English-Welsh tensions
- Japanese: violations of politeness protocols, insulting intelligence is very common.
- Korean: Impolite responses to people, esp. family and authority, references to animals, sexual terms
- Chinese: sex, insults to family members, cursing (i.e. Cantonese: "Hum Gah Chan" which literally means "Your Entire Family gets wiped out").
- Italian: blasphemy, some sexual terms, personal insults (i.e. "your mother").
- Arabic: sacrilege/blasphemy, excrement, sex (very defined in, for instance, Saudi Arabia), homosexuality, gender identity, and even saying "Your sister" is considered profane/obscene as it commonly refers to "your sister's vagina". Most of the severely profane words focus on the sexual organs of one's sister, mother, and, in some cases, his wife. "Kos okhtak" is a typical insult, meaning "your sister's vagina". Obscene words including sexual references in Arabic are considered highly severe and are more than frowned upon in most places. Profanity regarding animals or excrement, on the other hand, are considered less severe and more accepted in the Arabic society. Islamically, using such words is prohibited, especially those that refer to another's family. [citation needed]
- Tagalog: sex, violence, blasphemy, homosexuality, incest, political insults.
- Indo-Aryan languages: insults to family members, esp. incest
- Dravidian languages: equating people with animals
- Modern Hebrew: Yiddish loanwords having sexual meaning (Classical Hebrew seems to have had no true profanity, although it had several strong insults)
but were people aware of his existence before the 10 commandments? i forget now.
