International Unicycle

On another thread, Amal recently wrote the word unicycle in Arabic. I thought it would be great for us to have a thread with unicycle written in as many languages as we can.

I know we could just do a cut and paste search but this is will be more fun.
We can use various size and style font as well as color.

I'll start.. in Korean:

외발자전거

I wrote my name in Arabic, Unibugg, NOT the word unicycle.


The word unicycle in Arabic is:

الدراجة الأحادية

2 words.

I'm totally not familiar with those Chinese characters. My Sino-Japanese-Korean dictionary is no help either...

외발자전거 In Korean breaks down to..

외 (wei) only one
발 (bal) foot, wheel
자 (ja) alone, without outside power
전 (jun) moving on wheels
거 (gu) pronouncedgu as in gut means cart or transport
