Sydney Harbour welcomes the New Year in its usual exuberant style.
The main theme of this site is, "In any language, the whole world is united by a ball." With that in mind, and courtesy mostly of Factmonster.com and The Holiday Spot, here are a few New Year's greetings in a variety of languages:

Xin Nian Kuai Le: Chinese
Sretna Nova godina! Croatian

If I didn't list your language, please let me know how to say your New Year's Greeting. One of our contributors from the past, Dan Leo, supplied the Russian greeting: S novym godom. S novym schastyem.
All the best wishes for a prosperous New Year in 2017 or as the ancient Romans would say, MMXVII.
