How do you say hello and goodbye in salish tribe?

It's important to understand that "Salish" isn't a single language but a family of languages spoken by various Indigenous tribes in the Pacific Northwest.

To give you a precise answer, I need to know which specific Salish language you're interested in. Some of the most well-known Salish languages include:

* Lushootseed (Duwamish): Spoken by the Duwamish people in the Puget Sound area.

* Squamish : Spoken by the Squamish people in the southwestern part of British Columbia.

* Halkomelem : Spoken by various Coast Salish peoples in southwestern British Columbia.

* S'Klallam : Spoken by the S'Klallam people on the Olympic Peninsula.

* Cowichan : Spoken by the Cowichan people on Vancouver Island.

Once you specify the language, I can give you accurate greetings in that language.

However, I can provide some general greetings that are common in many Salish languages:

Hello:

* Sə'ləm (Lushootseed)

* Shxw'elq'w (Squamish)

* Hul'q'umi'num (Halkomelem)

Goodbye:

* Sə'ləm (Lushootseed) - This word can also mean "goodbye."

* Sə'ləm (Squamish) - This word can also mean "goodbye."

* Hul'q'umi'num (Halkomelem) - This word can also mean "goodbye."

It's important to remember that these are just general examples. The specific words and pronunciations may vary slightly depending on the particular Salish language.

I encourage you to do further research on the specific language you're interested in to get the most accurate information.
