你好, Kumusta, Guten tag, வணக்கம், 안녕하세요! Hello!

Learn how to say general greetings and phrases in 21 different languages with our new resource: Greetings in different languages.

Find spoken greetings such as ‘hello’ and ‘thank you’ and time-specific greetings like ‘good morning’ and ‘good night’. It also features some key cultural phrases, such as ‘Asalaamu alaikum: Peace be upon you’ in Arabic.

This new feature on our website includes recordings of each greeting, the translation in the script of the language, a transliteration in English (if applicable), and phonetic pronunciation.

This resource is designed to help people learn the greetings of some of New Zealand’s ethnic communities as a way of supporting inclusion in society.
