Fred.
Pretty sure all the green ones are pronounced "Freed" rather than "Fred". The German one definitely is, the rule in German with "ie" or "ei" is that you pronounce the second letter, so "Frieden" is pronounced "Freeden". I think this is suprising close to "Freedom".

Fred
Fuck Fred, that guy is an asshole.
It is 「ピース」or "piisu" in Japanese
Though that is a loan word version, I dont yet know if there's a native equivalent
Edit:
This is the native version of the word: https://jpdb.io/vocabulary/1154070/%E5%AE%89%E6%B3%B0/%E3%81%82%E3%82%93%E3%81%9F%E3%81%84?lang=english#a
*disclaimer: I'm learning japanese so it's not my native language

The Sith will never bring peace!
These are always interesting. Thanks for sharing
If you can't practice all these spellings, saying the 3 words (phonetically) "Fred patch myoor" seem to be the easiest to phonetically encompass all of these. You'll sound like an idiot and mispronounce it, but if you were to be trying to surrender to an authority, it would (probably) be sufficient.
I've heard the Slavic one pronounced "meer", I think that's more common than "myoor".
Works for Romanian though, that's pronounced "patch-eh"
