Is this what you want? I think this should work.
This is an attempt to a practical example code:

languages = {
new = function(t, base, init)
local r = {}
for k,v in pairs(base) do
--copy the table taking either the default value or overwrite if possible
r[k] = init[k] or v
end
table.insert(t,r)
return r
end
}
--no third variable needed
english = languages:new({hello="hello", bye="bye", yes="yes", no="no"})
--no 'no' key needed, because 'no' in spanish is written just like in english
spanish = languages:new(english, {hello="hola", bye="adios", yes="si"})
the mapped values, yeahwell...i ended up figuring it out. what i was looking for was something like this
