Korean
Father = 아버지 (Abeoji)
Mother = 어머니 (Eomeoni)
*"eo" is pronounced like "uh"

ASL
Father = Make a open 5 hang shape, and place the thumb on the side of your forehead (same side as your hand), and then arch it foward once.
Mother = Same deal as father, but just do it by your chin.
*whening signing, use your dominate (writing) hand

All other langauges that I know were said.
