How do you say "tea"?

Ok, here is the continuation of my last post.This is how you say tea in various other languages:

Dutch  Thee
French Thé
German Tee
Portuguese Cha
Hindi and Swahili Chai (Yes -- that means when you say chai tea you are being a redundant fool =) )
Turkish  çay (pronounced chay)
Arabic Shay

I forgot to tell you last time, but the Arabic word for coffee is qahwa. I probably should have listed it in Arabic first since we kind of got the whole coffee drinking idea from the Middle-East. Oh, and I have definitely decided to start writing a New Orleans blog which I will attempt to start tonight.
