Translation Translation check - short phrase

Upvotes

I'm currently putting together a teaching resource for primary school pupils about different scripts/orthographies around the world. The task has 18 translations of 'languages are amazing/incredible' in various languages which have differing scripts. I've checked the translations with multiple online translation tools, but I'm well aware that these do not always catch the nuanced points that native speakers can, hence why I wanted to post here for advice.

Would this be a suitable translation for Tagalog, or is there a better alternative?

kamangha-mangha ang mga wika

Thank you in advance for any help you lovely r/Tagalog Redditors can offer!

Other What is the equivalent of the word 'saing' to English?

Kasi 'di ba ang pagsasaing ay cooking method? If you're a Filipino 'saing' is basically understood as 'to cook rice', pero method din siya ng pagluluto ng other things like fish. IDK, na-curious lang ako. Di ko kasi ma-explain yung Sinaing na Tulingan sa friend ko na nagaaral ng Tagalog.

Ito ang aking sinulat (hindi po ako magaling sa teknikal na aspeto ng pagsusulat this is purely creative)

May kakaibang bilis ang aking puso na naaabot lamang nito sa tuwing ang imahe mo ang tumatakbo sa aking isipan. Simpleng pagbanggit lamang ng iyong ngalan at tila ako'y nagbuhat na ng ilang libong kilogramong bigat. Kaya siguro ganoon kasi kasingbigat din nito ang halaga mo sa akin. Nakakatawa dahil sa totoo lang hindi pa naman tayo magkakilala ngunit napasamba mo agad ang tulad kong walang paniniwala. Nawa'y di sana ipagkaila ng mga tala sa akin na ibigin ka. Hindi ko na rin hihilingin ang iyong pagsinta, tama na ang ako lang ang humanga
