What is translation of kumusta ka in different philippine dialect?

Here are some translations of "Kumusta ka" (How are you?) in different Philippine dialects:

Tagalog: Kumusta ka? (most common, used throughout the Philippines)

Cebuano: Kumusta ka? or Maayong buntag/hapon/gabii (Good morning/afternoon/evening)

Ilocano: Kumusta ka? or Kasayaat ka? (How are you?)

Waray: Kumusta ka? or Maayo ka ba? (How are you?)

Kapampangan: Kumusta ka? or Maligayang aldo/hapon/gabie (Good morning/afternoon/evening)

Note:

* Some dialects, like Cebuano, often use greetings like "Good morning/afternoon/evening" instead of asking "How are you?"

* The most common way to ask "How are you?" in many dialects is still "Kumusta ka?" because it's widely understood throughout the Philippines.

It's always good to be aware of the specific dialect spoken in a particular area. If you're unsure, it's always safe to use "Kumusta ka?" as it's understood by most Filipinos.
