Good evening, a chairde,

I would like to find a translation for this pertinent idiom, very common in Tajikistan.
It is: Забон донӣ, ҷаҳон донӣ
Or literally: Tongue [you] know, world [you] know
Idiomatically: If you know a language, you know a world

An féidir rud eicínt mar seo a rá?
Fios teanga, fios domhain

Teanga agat, domhan agat

Teanga múinte, domhan foghlamtha

Maybe that last one was a bit too creative haha

Céard a cheapann sibhse

Don’t know …
Translations of proverbs usually need more words in the target language.

E.g. Má tá teanga agat, tá eolas ar saol eile agat.

(there's only one "domhain": the earth)

Cinnte nach bhfuil ach "jahon" amháin ann i dTáidsícis freisin, ach deirtear fós!!

Ní féidir aistriúchán maith a dhéanamh ar an rud seo go Béarla ach a oiread, agus cuirtear an cheist sin orm gach uile coicís ar a laghad

Y'all don't think that would suggest "if you have a [literal] tongue..." do you?
Nuair a léigh mé an ceann sin tháinig drochsmaointe chugam...
