northern islanders speak 10 percent Spanish, people from the central islands speak 20 percent and the southerners speak 60 percent which is almost spanish so they are called chabacanos. only the southerners can understand spanish. the north which are the tagalogs only understand spanish nouns as you go down south the central people, visayas also have some verbs and some adjectives. The Philippine dialects are all mixed with Spanish and native language and some chinese. Maybe if a spaniard did sign language and says  the nouns we would understand. Because only the nouns were retained like bentana, silla ,mesa etc. except that the some spelling was changed.

the pre-spanish language was a mix of ancient bahasa melayu and polynesian. The malays conquered the islands. We became part of sri-vijaya specially the central which is why they are called visayas. But the north has a little bit chinese influence because it was near Taiwan, in fact when the Spaniards came they found chinese people up north. After Sri-Vijaya collapsed the north became related to the madjapahit royalty and converted to islam so they picked up a lot of malay words. the central island retained most of the polynesian customs and hindu sri-vijayan customs. So they were called pintados because of their tattoos. The south was a muslim stronghold related to Bornean Sultans even today and their dialect is the closest to Bahasa and has the least spanish loan words.

Tagalog (filipino lanaguage) has many common words to spanish

 

como estas sp

Kamusta Ka?  tagalog

 

I believe the word in Tagalog for table is mesa and it is the same in Spanish.  Since they were concquered for a long time by the SPanish people of Europe, it is obvious that the language would be similar.  Also note, Tagalog has a mixture of chinese also.

In Malaysia.. we speak in Malay. so normal greetings are:

Apa Khabar? -> How are you?

Buat apa? -> What are you doing?

Malay language is blend from arab, urdu and persian.. so there are some similiraty with other languages.....

In Hungarian:

Generally:

J napot (kvnok!) =(I wish you a) good day!

Men to women or children to adults:

(Kezt) Cskolom = I kiss you(r hand)

Among friends:

Szervusz! (from latin servus) or Szia! (plural Sziasztok)

Hogy van? (formal) or Hogy vagy? (informal) = How are you?

(When a Hungarian ask this he really wants to know how are you.)

I use these greeting with my friends:

Tja (slang, actually from italian "ciao") 

Yo mannen (Yo man)

Tjena/ Tjenare

Otherwise:

Hej

In Punbaji

Oy kiddan?  (the last 'n' is more a nasalized 'n' than a hard sound)

This is very informal - you will literally insult someone of you say this to an elder or someone held in high regard.

Over here the usual greeting is 'sup, followed by a slight head bob. Sometimes all that's required is the head motion.

Nope, they both come from tjnare, servant, which was an old greeting in Stockholm ("din mjuke tjnare", your humble servant, or similar). Pronounce it with a Stockholm dialect and you'll hear it easy, "tjeeeeenare".

Well, I think that comes from the ciao-greeting, too. Compare this (hope I managed the translation):

(G. Stiernhielm)
"E. K. M.tz Vnderdnigste tienare G. Stiernheilm"
"Your's Royal Majesty (fully) subjected servent G. Stiernheilm"

(1659)
"Jag r . . min kre farkrs dmjukaste son och tjnare"
"I am . . my lovely father's humblest son and servent"

(1730)
"Jag frbl(ifver) med besynnerl(ig) hgaktning Ede och Hgl(r)de Doctorens samt Professorens Hrsamme tienare Olof Celsius"
"I become with highest regard your's and the (most) conceited Doctor's and Professor's diligented servent Olof Celsius"

(Bellman)
"Tjenare Mollberg! Hur r det fatt?"
"Hello Mollberg! How are you doing?"

(1798)
"Er tjenare"
"Your servent"

(1840)
"Din tjenare"
"Your servent"

Did you write this wrong? First you say it comes from ciao, then you post info supporting that it doesn't. In any case, any etymological dictionary or similar will give you the answer(which I posted above).
