Greetings in Different Languages

Wouldn’t the world be a whole lot simpler if every individual spoke the same language? Perhaps it could, but this question may evoke a series of more daunting questions. One Language could equate to one dress code or one standard lifestyle. Can you imagine Japan without ‘Sayonara’? Or India without ‘Namaste’? Language is just that one ingredient which can alter the stable equation of a lifestyle completely. Italian Pasta doesn’t blend well with Indian Roti. A language defines the character of a place and binds the citizen of one region together. It bequeaths every zone or nation with a personality and the ability to communicate with one another. With the onset of globalization, diversity in languages has opened many doors for employment. Translators and interpreters are now thriving. However, how does a traveller or a backpacker from Australia find his way around in the interiors of an African village? Maybe a few greetings in the local language may grant him a free pass and locals would be compelled to welcome him with arms wide open. Such is a power of language. Let’s learn a few fun greetings in different languages.
