What are chess pieces called in your language?

In German they are like this:

>These modern rules for the basic moves had been adopted in Italy and Spain

Pion
Tour
Cavalier
Fou
Rein
Roi

>Queen is most powerful piece

So tolerant

but the king is still the most important

Kawal
Tore
Kabalyero
Obispo
Reyna
Hari

Guess what we call 'Chess' in Tagalog?

pion = pawn
tour (tower) = rook
cavalier (horseman) = knight
fou (mad) = bishop
reine = queen
roi = king

>Historian Marilyn Yalom proposes that the prominence of medieval queens such as Eleanor of Aquitaine and Blanche of Castile and Isabella I of Castile, the cult of the Virgin Mary,[4] and the power ascribed to women in the troubadour tradition of courtly love, might have been partly responsible for influencing the piece towards its identity as a queen and later its modern great power on the board, as might the medieval popularity of chess as a game particularly suitable for women to play on equal terms with men.

I propose naming it "Advisor" again. Or Vizier/Wazir for the exoticness.

It is hetman in Poland
There are morons who call it królowa (queen) but they are factually wrong

pawn - Pion
rook - Wieża - tower
knight - Skoczek - jumper
bishop - goniec - messenger
queen - hetman - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hetman
king - król

>pawn = peshka ("someone traveling on his own feet")
>rook = ladja (an old word for ship)
>knight = konj (horse)
>bishop = slon (elephant)
>queen = ferzj (borrowing from Persian, doesn't mean anything by itself)
>king = korolj (king)

pawn: piyon
rook: kale=castle
knight: at=horse
bishop(haram): fil=elephant
queen(kek): vezir=vizier
king: şah

sotilas, soldier
torni, tower
ratsu, mount
lähetti, messenger
daami, dame
kuningas, king

>pawn = peshka (infantryman)
>rook = ladja (galley)
>knight = koñ (male horse)
>bishop = slon (elephant) or officer
>>queen = ferz' (vizier) or queen
>>king = korol' (king)

adviseur then

or admiraal (admiral) to give it a particularly dutch influence :)

> elephant
wtf?

>pawn = Peão (pawn)
>rook = Torre (tower)
>knight = Cavalo (horse)
>bishop = Bispo (bishop)
>queen = Rainha (queen)
>king = Rei (king)

Pawn - Pėstininkas (footman)
Rook - Bokštas (tower)
Knight - Žirgas (horse)
Bishop - Rikis (no idea what it means or where it's from), also sometimes heard kunigas (bishop)
Queen - Dama (lady)
King - Karalius

>knight

>bishop

>queen
kui-n
>king

very retarded

Chess originally came from India, then the middle east, then to Europe.

Muslims weren't going to say "bishop" obviously so just elephant then.

japanese language sounds like a retard trying to speak english

I thought it came from Persia. In Germany we call it "Schach" which is the Persian word for "king".

pawn=pešak (walker)
rook=top (cannon)
knight=skakač (jumper)
bishop=lovac (hunter)
queen=dama (lady)
king=kralj (king)

Please please tell me you say "Chekku matu"
