OK, I didn't actually count, but here is a file with 50(ish) words for harmonica in different languages. I got bored last night and I played with Google translator. I can't get them to post here without a lot of painful coding, so I'll just link to the file. Later I'm going to make it into a piece of artwork, (any of the real artists are welcome to give it a try too) but the actually reason I did it was I figured I could copy the words into the search in YouTube and find Japanese harmonica videos. It works! Unless I do the art work as a bunch of text boxes you won't be able to cut and past unless I keep it as text.
A harmonica band with a female lead harmonica player!
An Elton John cover-
Something in Chinese-
Ok, back in English, but I found the link from the Chinese page...
Don't mind me, I'm almost Finnish...
Not great sound quality, but a cool melody...
Something in Greek that seems to not just have a little harmonica in it (although it seems to feature mostly strings), but seems to have the word harmonica in it... Really pretty.
Another guy singing about harmonica, although this time in Japanese...
Found this one with the Persian word for harmonica,
This looks like a chromatic harmonica review the way he puts the harp up to the camera. Nice tone. He's got a nice tongue roll sound and some interesting hand motions going on.

If I tell people I'm a harp player, they imagine me sitting in a ball gown strumming away on some huge stringed thing ! OK, the ball gown part is what I imagine ;o) ----------
