Happy New Year around the world?

I'm finding a site that's like this: http://www.thehistoryofchristmas.com/trivia/merry....

And is featuring how they say "Happy New Year!" in their own native languages, especially in these countries:

Austria

Belgium

Balarus

Canada

Switzerland

China

Cuba

Czech Republic

Germany

Denmark

Egypt

Spain

Finland

France

United Kingdom

Greece

Hong Kong

Iceland

Estonia

Hungary

Italy

Japan

Korea

Republic of Korea

Liechtenstein

Lithuania

Latvia

Poland

Russian Federation

Seychelles

Sweden

Norway

Turkey

Taiwan

Ukraine

If you know one or two, that would be a great help. Thanks!

Update:

And how do you pronounce those? Thanks for everyone who answered! *question still open*

Update 2:

btw, that "Balarus" must be "Belarus"
