Answer 1

I'll be honest with you, I don't want to search the internet for translations of hello for I might give you the wrong information.

Instead I'll give you translations I know.

Philippines-Kamusta ka? (but hello would be okay, filipinos understand that)

China-Ni hao (hao is said like "how")

Sorry, the language I know is limited. But I could give you other translations of hello even when you didn't ask for it.

Cantonese(hongkong)-lei hao (lei is said as "lay")

Min nan hua(also another language of china)-di ho

Japan-konichiwa(i'm sure you're familiar with this)

Sorry, that's all I know, hope I helped.

Answer 2

kamustaka, ni hau ma, buenos dias, salaam aleikum, namaste, salaam aleikum, Bonjour, jambo, bem dia
