Help, friends list?

I need translations (in any language - I will totally welcome things like Elvish and Klingon, too) for the following five words:

Welcome

Read

Listen

Create

Explore

Any bilingual/multilingual people out there who like to help me out? You'll get - okay. You'll just get thanks. But they will be very sincere thanks.

Re: oops, imperatives

[thefourthvine.livejournal.com]

I think I need the imperfective imperative, because I'm thinking it would be for signs. So, let me see if I have this right -

Listen: Slushay or Slushayte (слушате)
Create: Sozdavay or Sozdavayte (создавате)
Explore: Issledovay or Issledovayte (исследовате)

Um, how bad did I just mangle those words?

Slight correction, plus Tajik

The transliterations are exactly right; in the Cyrillic, you forgot the i kratkoe, but otherwise, great!

читайте
слушайте
создавайте
исследуйте

I also checked with my husband, who's fluent, and he said he couldn't say for sure without more context, but for something like a sign you would probably want the singular formal/plural imperfective like the forms above.

I also got him to tell me the imperatives (except 'welcome') in Tajik, which is his native but second most fluent language. Tajik is a dialect of Farsi. It would ordinarily be written in a modified Cyrillic alphabet. I can't give any grammatical details (re: singular/plural, etc., he said "it's hard to say," whatever that means) beyond that, but here are the transliterations:

Khush omaded - Welcome
Khoned - Read
Shunaved - Listen
Sozed - Create (in sense of 'construct')
He couldn't think of the word for explore
