Actually its supposed to be Silaw / Silav [slaw/slav] from what I just searched up. Kurds might use Arabic for ‘hello’. I have no idea.

I never knew jordanian’s have another language! I learned something new! Thanks!

No dear , Jordanians only speak Arabic . We Circassians are a North Caucasian ethnic group native to Circassia who were displaced in the course of the Russian conquest of the Caucasus in the 19th century, especially after the Russian–Circassian War of 1862 .
Circassian language also known as Cherkess is our own language , there are two Circassian languages , Adyghe (West Circassian) with half a million speakers, and Kabardian (East Circassian) with a million. we still use it with each other beside the language of the country we live in which is Arabic in my case

Yeah they say silaw too there are more than just one way to say hello. Especially because it depends on where you’re from.

But I say silaw when I tell someone to greet another person for me :slight_smile:

So yeah you’re right :slight_smile:

OMG! I’m so stupid! I didn’t know. But I love the fact that i just got to learn about new people! Thank You!

I thought it was either ¿Cuál es su nombre? or ¿Cómo se llama? (ofc variations on formal/informal) for What is your name in Spanish. ¿Cómo es tu/su nombre? looks awkward to me.
