This is a list of greetings in many different languages
of the world, collected from dictionaries, phrase books, and
people who speak or know these languages.
The country or region where the language is spoken is in
parentheses after the language name. For languages that are
known by more than one name, alternate names are listed in
brackets.
The words here are not all literal translations of the English
"hello"; instead, here are included the various words and phrases
that are used most often as a greeting in these languages.
If you know how to say a greeting in any language (or dialect) which is not
on this list, or if you see any mistakes, please let me know.
Hope to hear from you:
Mail this wakko guy!
Or if you prefer leaving a message in my
guest book.
I thank my friend
Jennifer Runner (and all the people who helped
her) who provided me most of the information contained in these
pages.
