Salamat

Look up salamat in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

Salamat is the word for "Thank You" in many Filipino languages, including Tagalog, Cebuano, and Hiligaynon. It most likely comes from the triliteral Semitic root S-L-M, due to Arabs who roamed the area. In its Arabic form سلامات, it is also used as a greeting in many Arabic cultures. Arabs use this word informally to say "wish you feel better soon".
