In Bosnia we say:

Merhaba, Cao (like italian ciao) Gdje si? (lit. where are you?) or Sta ima? (what's up?) etc.
 
in Indonesia, we say:
-'apa kabar': how r ya?
-'jumpa lagi': wow, we see each other again
-'apik-apik': are you in a good condition
-'lu lagi lu lagi': oh...not you again:D

mirpuri:

ki haal hai: how r u?
oh hoi fir miley aa: wow, we see each other again
seth sheth teek hai na? : hows your health?
ey fir kitho agya wey: oh wheres he come from?

sori my spelin bit mesed lol.
 
Salams,

after saying 'salams' it's 'kem cho?' which basically means 'how are you?' in Gujarati.

w'salam :)

Evo me brate muslimane :) (here i am brother muslim). This is in your Bosnian language i think :)

and here is in my macedonian language: "zdravo, kako si?[здраво, како си?]" (Hello, how are you?)

:D
 
ok In punjabi we converse somewhat like this:

Asalaamualiakum
Ki haal aye? (how are you?)
theek oo? (u ok?)
kithey ghaib oo? (where have u been hiding)

in Urdu:
after the salaam
kesse hain app? (how are you?)
theek thaak? (ok?)
kahaan ghaib ho itney arsey se (where have you been hiding for so long?)
 
since I now live in an area where most of the people I talk to are Sioux and speak Lakota I am learning to say:

"Háu kola"


Which translates into "Hello Friend" although kola does not quite equate as friend it more closely means "You are not my enemy"

The Háu is pronounced as How, which is what it seems all of the old movies think all American Indians say. It is strictly a Sioux word and was not used by other tribes.
 
:sl:

in Urdu after Asalam u Alikum
کیا حال ہیں ٹھیک ٹھاک ہیں آپ ---Kiya haal hain Teekh Thaak hain app means= How are You ,are you all right

in punjabi after Asalam u Alikum
کی حال اے ٹھیک ٹھاک ہیگے و تسسی ----kee haal haa Teekh Thaak haygayo Tussi means = How are You, are you all right

in pushtu after Asalam u Alikum
سنگا حال دے تاسو طبیعت سنگے ----Sanga Haal daey tasu tabiaat sangay means = How are You, is your health fine

in Sindhi after Asalam u Alikum
چھا حال آہے توھان جی طبیعت سوٹھو آہے ---Chaa hal ahay tuhan jee tabiaat suthoo ahay means = How are you, is your Health fine

Sorry I am learning as much as I can from all of you.

Well for my muslim bro's and sisters it's of course asalam alaikum but for my family and some friends who are non-muslim, my language is plain ole boring english so it Hello, How are you?

to non family- alryt che?
 
Salam 'alaykum is one of the greetings we use. But, communism here did its job, so amny people are distanced from this Deen, so salam 'alaykum isn't a common greeting. However, even people who practice Islam more, mainly because of their attachment to the tradition, prefer saying Marhaba. There are also: Sabah khayrola (in the morning, as you already guessed :D) and Aksham khayrola (evening)

In Bosnian/Serbian Good afternoon is "Dobar dan," Good evening is "Dobro veče", Hello/Hi - "Zdravo" etc. :-)
