I can't figure out what the one that is supposed to be Mandarin or Cantonese is.

Jet adore is probably "Je t'adore." Which is French, and means "I adore you."

"watashi wa anata ga suki desu" is Japanese for "I like you."

"ya vas liubliu" is Russian for "I love you" (At least I'm pretty sure on this one--of course it's not really written in Russian because they have a different alphabet.)

Can't help with the others, but I bet they are similar.

You win your bet Lorikeet!

Bulgarian - Obicham te (I love you)

Kannada - Naanu Ninnanu Preethisuthene (I love you)

NOTE: Kannada (ಕನ್ನಡ kannaḍa; also, less commonly, Kanarese) is one of the major Dravidian languages of southern India and one of the oldest languages in India.

I hope this helps!
