Japanese: -romaji: Konnichiwa, konbanwa (good day or hello, good evening)
-Kanji: こんにちは, こんばんは
French: Bonjour
Vietnamese: Xin chào
Thai: สวัสดี
Spanish: Hola
Hawaiian: Aloha
Italian: Ciao
Korean: 안녕하세요

Yeah so... thats it
Japanese
Ohaiyo: good morning
Konnichiwa: good afternoon
Konbanwa: good evening

For vietnamese, xin chao sounds like "asking for hello" am i right? sounds odd... i never heard that around my whole family and my parents speaks both bac and nam.
