World greetings

World greetings

As an interesting long term project I would ask readers to submit a recording of their language/dialect’s greetings and I would create a world map something like a world language map. A lot of work for a motivated person but could also prove very useful for teaching  language and cultures of the world for children and even adults. Anyone interested in recording a few expressions? Please leave a comment.
