Jbin or jboun depending of the region in tunisia
peynir
There’s bound to be a bunch of variations of panir, paneer, peynir etc. around. All of us central Asians call it something like that.

Chääs
Hi fellow swiss german;)
Hoi :)
My language is already taken so here's another language where I know the word: 奶酪 (nailao), first character meaning milk, second one I had to look up for the definition: "semi-solid food made from milk"
In NZ English... "Cheese". Though we do have a term "tasty" for a 12-18 month aged cheddar cheese that I don't think is commonly used elsewhere. At the supermarket you're likely to see "mild" or "tasty" not "cheddar".
In Māori, "tīhi". It's a transliteration of "cheese" into a language that has neither a "ch" nor a "s" sound.
So it's labelled "tasty cheese"?
That suggests that you can only buy cheddar there. No other types of cheese.
Other types of cheese are available, it's just that cheddar is not clearly labeled as such since it's kind of the "default".

Spent time in Hungary they call cheese sajt.
Juusto
Finnish? I had something called leipa juusto in Finland and it was a very interesting experience
Yes. Leipäjuusto (literally bread cheese) is like the only uniquely Finnish type of cheese that I can think of. Very mild and very squeaky
Also, to any anglophones reading, the j is pronounced like y, so it'd sound like "yuusto" to your ears
