RE: It's Zulu, "sawubono".
Posted by Stephæn on January 11, 2010 at 08:38:23:
According to the Fifth Discipline Fieldbook (Senge et al.), "Among the
tribes of northern Natal in South Africa, the most common greeting,
equivalent tpo 'hello' in English, is the expression: Sawu bona.
"It literally means 'I see you.' If you are a member of the tribe, you
might reply by saying Sikhona, 'I am here.' The order of the exchange
is important: until you see me, I do not exist. It's as if, when you see
me, you bring me into existence."
