Greeting - Saying Hello in Different Languages

Hi guys! I thought of writing something in English for a change. Well, the subject is quite interesting as well...it's all about greeting people all around the world in different languages! Although there are so many different tongues in the world, all of us speak a common language and that is the language of the heart and this happens when we greet someone. It expresses the warmth that we have within us and the idea of acceptance comes easily in this way.
(I have managed to incorporate as many languages as I could as it is not possible to include all of them!)
